<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 376029, member: 59&quot;]Taber and Tibbits was in business in Wallingford, Connecticut from 1919 to 1941 (so your grandmother&#039;s pitcher is absolutely more than 50 years old.) They made only silverplated wares, no sterling items. In no event were they &quot;faking&quot; sterling.</p><p><br /></p><p>EPNS, as explained early, stands for electroplated nickel silver. No intent to deceive a buyer into thinking an item was made of solid silver. But a well made and well cared for plated piece can certainly look like one made of sterling. As long as the guests didn&#039;t turn such a beautiful pitcher upside down, they&#039;d never have been the wiser.&nbsp; Any hostess would have been glad to have it on the table. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t understand your point about why anyone would make EPNS back then, given the current (?) price of silver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
