<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gimbler-dave, post: 291021, member: 313&quot;]I have sent a request to the Sheffield Assay Office requesting verification of the SC&amp;LCo maker mark in oval cartouche used on the 1973 and 1975 hallmarks. Not sure if they will do so without a research payment, but hoping for the best!</p><p><br /></p><p>I still haven&#039;t figured out the Sheffield connection i.e. why use of a British hallmark on these pieces as SC&amp;L seems to have been in America for an extended period, and they have their own American marks.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Newport Metals Company has a limited google trail, but what is there strongly connects them with silver and gold activities, so still pointing to them as the probable actual manufacturer of the tankards.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dave[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
