Hi....I recently inherited some S. Kirk silver that according to my family history says it is much older.....about 1760's during revolutionary war. Now I know S. Kirk started in the 1820's and then continued with his son, but mine are just S. Kirk. BUT there are other marks which I can't find and I'm hoping means there are older.....please advise:)

The first is a circle split into 4 quadrants.....with two crosses diagonally from each other and the other 2 quadrants have criss-cross lines. Then there is also a capital letter C.

Thanks so much!!!

Trev.

Baltimore assay marks for 1824, but an image would confirm it.

Thank's so much......here are the pics!

I look forward to any info you can provide!

Family tradition to the contrary, your pot was assayed in 1824. The piece is typical of Kirk's work at the time.
