Hallmark identification

[rebmearob]

I have a silver service - coffee pot or tea pot, hot water pot, sugar, cream, waste bowl, tray. They all have the same hallmark. I know they're silver plate but after extensive searches I'm no closer to knowing who the maker is. The hallmark is a crown, a G, a S, and what look like two keys crossed in an X pattern. Any help anyone can give will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I believe that's a Goldfeder Silverware Company mark.
The Goldfeder Silverware Company used several different marks. In 1932 Sol Goldfeder started his company in Brooklyn, New York. Sometime in the mid 1950's he moved the firm to Yalesville, Connecticut. The name was changed to the Birmingham Silver Company, probably c.1950.
Here's another mark he used similar to yours:
