A STERLING SILVER REED & BARTON "PAUL REVERE REPROD

[Olof]

Can anybody read these hallmark and tell me when these solid sterling silver wather pitcher was produced ?

[Olof]

Reed & Barton is the so called "Initial Mark" and its more common than the "Pictorial Mark"

#758 seems to be the pattern number

9 1/2 declaration of size or volume ???

H.P. no idea what this means, could it be the initials of the silversmith who made it ???

[Olof]

9 1/2 means the height of the pitcher.

So he last question is, what does H.P. means ?

Hi olof-

I do not know when your piture was made, but here is a link to the Reed and Barton customer service site, perhaps they would be able to tell you. Let us know if you find out.

Here is the answer from Reed & Barton

The 3-digit number with the "X" prefix is a sterling catalog
number. Your item was manufactured sometime AFTER 1957 but before the
mid 1980's... We can't give an EXACT year of production, as we stopped
using year-marks in '57. The "H.P." stands for "Half Pint"

Must say that Reed & Barton is one of the most helpful American silver companies, unusual in this day and age. Several years ago, told a friend that they would repair her damaged enamel-lined bowl (don't know if they still do that), she sent it off and though it took a few months, she was thrilled with the results and service.
