Hi!

We have an olive spoon with a maker's mark I'm uncertain about ... roommate says it's Simpson, Hall, Miller & Co ... I'm not sure....

Help in getting this right is so appreciated!

Thanks...

sincerely,
Susan

Looks like the old Simpson, Hall, Miller & Company mark to me.
They started using this mark around 1895 on their sterling flatware. After they became part of International Silver a few years later, International continued to use this mark for many years.

Deat Patrick,

That's one for Kira, the Russian roommate -- who incidentally says she "loves" you for all the help! Me, too...

Sincerely,
Susan
