Sterling silver, Sheffield, 1932. Don't know the maker, but assume someone else will

Whilst I do not know who RWB is, I have items with this mark assayed in London and have seen pieces dating around the period 1930's - 1960's with this mark, all retailed by Harrods. Auction catalogues and silver retailer descriptions have not given a makers name. Maybe contact with Harrods will supply information.

Just came across this old post.

RWB is Richard Woodman Burbidge, who was the managing director and chairman of Harrods who died in 1945. The store used his initials as a sponser's mark.
