Assayed in London.

Date is 1925.

Maker's mark is rubbed - looks to be "?" Bros Limited.

Please don't ask about value - if you want a valuation, commission a valuer to do it for you.

I feel a fair candidate for your piece is S Blankensee & Son Ltd with the mark S.B & S. LD the D being superscript. The piece is certainly consistent with other pieces I've seen from them. At times the company has had items marked in a number of styles in London, Birmingham, Chester and Sheffield.
