<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 564792, member: 111&quot;]Personally, can&#039;t say I see this set as &#039;Deco&#039;, it&#039;s a very traditional in form - the tray in particular, with its stamped &#039;chasing&#039; is typical of early to mid 20th century American &#039;Sheffield Reproductions&#039; by numerous manufacturers - the subject of my old research.&nbsp; The reason I have any information on this company is that while they didn&#039;t illegally mark any of their wares as &#039;Sheffield&#039;, their salesmen and advertising offered some pieces as such, ending up with retailer complaints and legal action by the Federal Trade Commission ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Doubt that you&#039;d get much for it, as evidenced by the unsold set on eBay, though that one is monogrammed and shows some plating wear and&nbsp; pitting.&nbsp; If mine and had no interest in selling, using or displaying it, would probably ask if anyone else in the family wanted it and if not, would probably polish it (though it looks good in the pic), wrap it in an old cotton sheet, jot down the family history, pop it into plastic bin and shove it into the back of a closet...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
