Help needed to date and verify marks

Postby trudy » Tue Jun 10, 2008 10:38 pm

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.

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.
