Hi.

I'm new to this and not sure this piece is considered handwrought. I would truly appreciate it if you would tell me about the date mark and name of silver smith of this Bailey Banks & Biddle silver ware. Of course any additional information on this piece is very welcome!

If

Thank you for your help.

Hello.

As you probably know, the name of the firm became Bailey Banks & Biddle in 1878.
My references don't say when your mak was used.
Did see this mark with a Dominick & Haff mark that was dated 1897.

Thanks for the reply. It was a bit of surprise, for I was under the impression that this piece was made after the 1900s.
