The Lawrence B. Smith Company, Boston, Massachusetts, was founded in 1887. Went out of business around 1958.
If your teapot is not marked sterling or 925 then it's silverplated.
Many American firms used the word Sheffield in their mark. Usually seen on electroplate over copper pieces.
Lawrence B. Smith had no connection, that I can find, with Sheffield England.
