The mark is BSC and has a crown and the word "REG" along with "silver on copper." It appears to have pewter along the top of the punch bowl in a grape motif and includes the punch bowl, the platter and 12 cups. Any information would be appreciated. I can't seem to get a good photo of the mark.

I'm just going to take a wild guess. Maybe the letters are BSC which stands for the American firm Birmingham Silver Company, Yalesville, Connecticut. Mid 20th century.

Thank You!!!

Birmingham Silver Co. of Brooklyn, NY, and later Yalesville, CT. The company was the successor to the Goldfeder Silver Co.,founded by Sol Goldfeder in 1932. The company became Birmingham Silver Co. sometime before 1957. The marks of the company include a "puffy" crown, B S C in gothic capitals, and "Silver on Copper". They made high quality silverplate, much of it in an English style.
