<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluumz, post: 4411913, member: 649&quot;]Made a quick stop in a local thrift after an appointment this morning and it was well worth my while! Got a woo-hoo Paragon cup and saucer as well as a nice Reed and Barton silverplate tea pot with my initial on. On the bottom of the teapot there are the letters USSB… I found a source that said this stands for the United States Shipping Board. Anyone know if this is true? “The USSB was an emergency agency established by the US Shipping Act of 1916 to increase US ships supporting the WWI efforts. The program ended in 1934.”</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]374819[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]374820[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]374821[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]374822[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]374823[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]374824[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
