Whiting Pie Cake Server with 1823 Pat Date? Makes No Sense

[Guest]

Found this at the bottom of a box of silverplate. I got a good close up of the Pat Date. I am serious. It really looks like 1823. I know better because Whiting did not start to produce sterling til 1866.

Someone tell me the pattern and intro date. That should clear this all up.







Thanks again Mike / Mgfrd

The pattern is King Albert, introduced in 1919.

Any comments on the Patent Date. Thanks again Mike / Mgfrd1959

It is a chattered mark, meaning the hammer bounced or it was double stamped to get more depth with the punch misaligned. Yours is a misaligned triple stamping of 1920.
