I found this old bowl among my grandmother's silver. It does not have the same design as the others and has totally different markings as well. I have no clue what kind of metal it is made of and was wondering if anyone can tell me what this is?

Thank you!

EPC would usually stand for Electro Plated Copper

Hi - I'm curious to know if you've had any luck identifying the maker, date of manufacture or any other information on your piece other than the EPC. I have a crumber with the same marks except the style number (mine is 25) and despite an exhaustive on-line and library search, plus a trip to Replacements, Ltd, have had no luck finding any of this information. In fact, your post is the single time I've seen these marks anywhere! Thanks for any information you can share!

Maker is Sheffield Silver Co. of Brooklyn, NY, your mark (with some variations) was in use from 1908-50, they were acquired by Reed & Barton in 1974.
