Can anyone help?

I went through all the Stieff patterns listed at replacements.com & couldn't come up with a match.

If it means anything, some of the pieces are marked "Sterling Stieff Pat. B"

If Steiff used date marks on their flatware, then that would give us 1937. Steiff did manufacture a pattern called "Rose" in 1937 that is a "gaudy" floral design so perhaps the 1937 is correct.

Thanks a lot

Never mind the pattern - it's Corsage.

That does bring up a question though. replacements lists the pattern as active from 1935 - 1991.

Is the "B" on some of my pieces "Pat. B" a patent 1937 date?

Hi Larry,

Check out this post: http://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic ... 38&t=16242" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It may be that 1979 was the last date of production.

Regards Trev.

Stieff Silver FLATWARE was NOT date marked. SO the B is not 1937. There were several dies in use.. and the B was a ever so slight change in the pattern.
