Unknown marks
Unknown marks
Thank you for any help. Am not sure if I'm in the right forum. The starting with a "c" throws me off and the only "EP" I find is Elias Pellatreau (I or II) but the letters don't quite match up and are inside a shield with what seems to be a crown above them. My notes say the pattern is Hanoverian.

Re: Unknown marks
Hello.
Your picture of the marks is upside down.
EP stands for ElectroPlated.
John Harrison, Norfolk Works, Sheffield, England.
Your mark was used 1843-1865.
Firm became "& Co." in 1866, Ltd. in 1873.
Taken over by Richard Richardson in 1891.
He was the first to start electroplating in Sheffield England.
Pat.

Re: Unknown marks
American and English Plated producer had a letter code for their »Plated« quality
Hello »paulb4«
The continental European »Plated« producer had as quality sign the indication of gram; please read this: http://www.925-1000.com/a_platenumbers.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The American and English Plated producer had a letter code for their »Plated« quality; e.g. »A1« or »AI« as their ever best quality = quality grade of about medium level of Continental Europeans.
Lower level was »A«, next level was »B«, and then next level was »C«, and lowest level »D«.
