<p>[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 3400590, member: 59"]There were so many companies engaged in electroplating in the heyday of it's early use as a cheap alternative to the "look" of solid silver items, that many were short-lived and/or undocumented. There is also no official registration of silver plate marks in the UK which gives us little to go on outside of period advertising and company records. I checked the best source I am aware of and even scanned the multitude of "unknown maker marks" it has online and saw nothing that matched the marks on your items. I wish I could have found something for your daughter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
