I looked through the American marks and did not see it. I really appreciate any information - maker, dates, etc. Thanks!

That is a mark used by the Sheffield Silver Company, Brooklyn, New York. Founded in 1908, became a division of Reed & Barton in 1974.
They were known for producing silverplated items. You rarely see their pieces marked sterling. I believe the only times you will is on crystal pieces with a silver lid or base.

Regards,
Pat.

Wow, you are quick. Thank you so much for that information. I usually stick to glass and pottery, and running into your site was wonderful. It's a great site, and thanks again for your help!
