<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 319442, member: 59&quot;]Welcome, alpha_finch!</p><p><br /></p><p>Afraid I don&#039;t have much good news. I just tried to find this mark in 3 different ways (1 hardcopy reference and 2 online sites) and could not see anything even close. Even tried the &quot;unknowns&quot; online. I tried both US and UK marks lists. There is the possibility that this was made in Canada, where the crown and rampant lion would appeal to customers used to seeing these symbols on British silver, but few of those makers are represented online.</p><p><br /></p><p>Silver over copper was a &quot;trend&quot; in the between the wars period in the US. Previously many manufacturers had used nickel silver as the base metal, but (apparently) silver plating adheres better to a copper sub-surface and manufacturers used the silver over copper marking as a marketing tool.</p><p><br /></p><p>The styling of this pot is not particularly elegant and with an unknown mark, I fear value is rather low (is your intent is to resell it.)</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, marks on silverplate are never properly called &quot;hallmarks.&quot; They are simply maker&#039;s marks. I know many use the term hallmarks freely, but thought I would point out the error of doing so in this case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
