<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 214627, member: 44&quot;]You&#039;re welcome. Now, it is not unusual for old Sheffield plate *not* to have a maker&#039;s mark. Without any maker&#039;s mark it will be nearly impossible to impossible to ID the maker. Whatever you do don&#039;t ever replate old Sheffield plate. The copper &quot;bleeding&quot; through is a highlight that buyers want to see. The process of old Sheffield plating was a layering process, not the later electroplating that uses electrolysis. Here&#039;s a website that might help in IDing old Sheffield plate. Their are better websites out there, but I&#039;m on my iPad and the other sites are bookmarked on our desktop. </p><p><a href="http://thefarmantiques.com/differentiate-silver-old-sheffield-plate-silverplate/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://thefarmantiques.com/differentiate-silver-old-sheffield-plate-silverplate/" rel="nofollow">http://thefarmantiques.com/differentiate-silver-old-sheffield-plate-silverplate/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>You might consider posting queries on one of the following silver dedicate sites. </p><p><a href="http://www.925-1000.com/forum/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.925-1000.com/forum/" rel="nofollow">http://www.925-1000.com/forum/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If you are planning on selling, don&#039;t mention it on the following site for they won&#039;t help you.</p><p><a href="http://www.smpub.com/cgi/ubb/Ultimate.cgi?" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.smpub.com/cgi/ubb/Ultimate.cgi?" rel="nofollow">http://www.smpub.com/cgi/ubb/Ultimate.cgi?</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
