    Similar but not exact same combination of silverplate marks are found in various sources, but no dates for use are given. But I bet @DragonflyWink knows or has a source she can consult.

    Can't really add to what s_i_s found, if Jewel Stern says 'circa 1959', then that would be the case - her 'Modernism in American Silver' is great book (my copy is packed away or I'd check to see if this piece is in it). Can only add that the 'YC' prefix on the production code indicates post WWII manufacture...
