The attached photo is of marks found on a spoon (part of a set of 4). Despite all my research on the well known Sheffield I could not find this mark. Is it real Sheffield sterling and what does the following mark mean? I would appreciate any information anyone might have.

Sheffield Silver Co.
Brooklyn, NY
1919-1974
Primarily a manufacturer of silverplated holloware, apparently made a small amount of sterling ware. Absorbed into Reed & Barton.
from the American marks section of this site

Thanks for the information kerangoumar.
I'm very interested to know about the proper name for the company, dates and connection to Reed and Barton.

I do not see the connection, is this mark shown elsewhere as belonging to Sheffield Silver Co.?

Kerangoumar, may I ask your source for attributing this mark to Sheffield Silver Co.? Must admit that I've never seen any flatware by that maker, and the only sterling that I can recall seeing were bases and lids for glassware items, and they were marked with the same trademark shown on this site.
