<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 2200274, member: 111&quot;]Sorry, didn&#039;t see the alert - I don&#039;t have any Reed &amp;Barton catalogs this old, but this item is an &#039;ice urn&#039;, circa 1880s (could be a bit earlier or later), it should have a porcelain liner, or double-walls for insulation.&nbsp; I can dig later and find some catalog illustrations showing similar from other makers.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is little point in contacting Reed &amp; Barton, they were a family owned company until five years ago, and would often search their archives to help - but they went bankrupt, were bought by Lenox, and are now just like the other major American silver manufacturers, part of a large conglomerate...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
