SHEFFIELD PLATE.
History Of This Now Very Rare and
Valuable Ware.

Valuable Ware.
Sheffield plate differs from all other
plated ware in that the plating was
: done on the sheet metal before the
article was shaped. Before and since
then plating of various sorts has been
applied only to. the finished piece, as in
our electroplating process. Moreover.
the plating was done on copper. while
modern base metal is usually COM
posed Of an amalgam of copper. nickel
and zinc.
Furthermore, it is possible for the
collector to secure examples of early
Georgian and so called Queen Anne
work in Sheffield plate, while the
rarity and high money value of silver
ware of that period make its acquisi-
ton extremely difficult Sheffield plate
historically and artistically issas worthy
of a place beside old china and old
mahogany as is old silverware.
In 1742 one Thomas Bolsover Of
Sheffield, England, described in the
histories as an ingenious mechanics"
accidentally fused some silver and cop
per while repairing knife. He began
experimenting. seeking for method Of
plating copper with silver for the man
ufacture Of small articles. In 1743, to-
gether with Joseph Wilson, he set up
factory for the manufacture of buc-
kles, snuffboxes and knife handles.
Joseph Hancock soon got hold Of the
secret and, perfecting 1t, demonstrated
that it was possible to initiate the
finest and most richly embossed silver
ware. Settling in Sheffield. he started
the manufacture of all sorts of domes-
tic pieces. Beginning modestly with
horsepower. he later added water pow
er for the rolling process Other man
ufacturers followed his example, and
Sheffeld plate soon began to replace
pewter on the tables Of the English
middle classes. Altogether we know
of twenty-three important manufactur-
erS Of this ware
The industry nourished until the
middle Of the nineteenth century, and
so few pieces of copper rolled plate
were made after that time that they
need not concern the collector. Electro
plating was discovered or invented by
a medical student of Rotterdam, near
Shef1eld, and the new process was
patented on March %, 1910. By 1850
the new ware was on the market ev-
erywhere. and the industry had been
revolutionized.- Country Life In Amer,

pixie,s Land.

The phrase Dixie" or "Dixie's
Land" is supposed to be derived from
one Dizzy, a kind hearted slave owner
on Manhattan Island in the latter part
of the eighteenth century. His treat
ment of his negroes caused them to
regard his plantation ("Dixy's') as lit
tie short OF an earthly paradise. and
when any Of the slaves were taken
away from their old home they were
always pining for "Di1y's" and singing
and talking of its joys When slavery
moved southwark. the same ideal OF
"Dixy's" was taken along. and in the
course of time. its origin being forgot
ten. It was applied to the southern
homes OF the negroes. II New York
