I have these silverplate pieces and they are all similarily marked, rampant lion in a circle and "made in England" stamped under the lion. Are they Birks and if not does anyone know the maker and possibly how old they might be, I suspect they are recent.
Thanks again...John

Looks to me like a silverplate mark used by Charles Howard Collins, Birmingham, England.
I don't know how long they used this mark.
Regards,
Pat.
