I believe the best you can do is only give this a time frame of 1863-1898. If you scroll to the bottom of the following page you will see a chronology of the name Mappin &amp; Webb. The name of only &quot;Mappin &amp; Webb&quot; was used from 1863 to 1898. Before 1863 the company&#039;s name was Mappin &amp; Co. and after 1898 the company&#039;s name changed to Mappin &amp; Webb Ltd.</p><p><a href="http://www.silvercollection.it/MAPPINWEBB.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.silvercollection.it/MAPPINWEBB.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.silvercollection.it/MAPPINWEBB.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I believe the &quot;a&quot; is a quality symbol for the silver plate used. On the following page scroll down to the section &quot;Quality Symbols.&quot; There you will see the quality symbols of A1, A, B1, B, C .... &quot;A = Standard Quality = 24 grams on 12 pieces = 2 grams per table spoon or table fork.&quot;</p><p><a href="http://www.silvercollection.it/dictionarysilverplatesymbols.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.silvercollection.it/dictionarysilverplatesymbols.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.silvercollection.it/dictionarysilverplatesymbols.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
