Hi,

I can't help with the maker, but it appears to be 'N E S'

As can be seen, they were also makers of Sterling pieces.

Just guessing as I'm not aware of their mark, but there was a company 'New England Silversmiths' working in New York in the 1950's, but that's just a shot in the dark.

Thanks... its tough to make out those letters sometimes....

It also looks like a Gravy Boat, and the saucer goes with it?

Yes, I would go along with it being a gravy boat.

I saw you had a piece with the same markings back in January... did you end up getting rid of it?

Stumped by your question. I guess you're confusing me with someone else.

Ahh... Now I see. No, nothing to do with me I'm afraid, it was for a friend. I've no idea what happened to it.
