Hello.

Have not been able to confirm it, but I think that silverplate mark was used by Marples & Company.
They had similar sterling marks entered in Sheffield and Birmingham.

Founded around 1900. Became Marples, Wingfield & Wilkins from 1908 - 1940.
Believe this mark was used 1900 - 1940.

Like I said, not sure about this, just offering a possibility.

Pat.
