The crown is used in many forms of marks, especially in Great Britain, but I don't recall seeing "300".<br /><br />Maybe someone else will comment.Silver Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08842618852822028709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464235049105190628.post-77956960091100560022015-03-04T00:07:15.314-05:002015-03-04T00:07:15.314-05:00i have a small double handled dish which I assume ...i have a small double handled dish which I assume is silver plate as it only bears two marks - the figure 300 and a crown. Can anyone please tell me if this is correct for silver plate and who may have made it and when? I think the item may be 100 years old or very close to it.

In the process, I've come across items which are marked only with letters icons and logos and I've found articles that indicate that in the US and other countries, getting patents became extremely expensive, so manufacturers used a combo of stamps, letters, icons, etc. Bottom line, especially in foreign countries, sterling isn't always stamped 'STERLING.' I'll try to find the article and link it. see:<br />http://www.manyhorses.com/sterling_silver_quality.htm paragraph #4<br />that's all I can find, but there are also Gorham sites (I think if you 'google' Gorham logo or Gorham crests which show what markings mean what.

The 300 could either be a model number of some indication of the plating thickness. I think it's a model number.Silver Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08842618852822028709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464235049105190628.post-21774627964972862852011-02-13T19:20:31.931-05:002011-02-13T19:20:31.931-05:00I have a pitcher marked Wm Rogers x 300.

It's highly likely that an American tray would have the word, "Sterling", on it if it was sterling. British sterling marks do include a crown but they also include other marks that are not on your platter. There is the possibility that "EP" stands for "electroplate".<br /><br />Go here for examples of sterling and silver plate marks, American and British: www.925-1000.com .Silver Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08842618852822028709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464235049105190628.post-45372712356173012112011-01-16T13:41:14.023-05:002011-01-16T13:41:14.023-05:00Hi my name is bob and I wonder if anyone has some ...Hi my name is bob and I wonder if anyone has some knowledge on hallmarks on silver.
