Sheffield Plate.

Late in the eighteenth century there
was developed in Sheffield a new method
Of fusing a thin piece of silver upon cop
per or brass which was christened with
the name of the city. Attaching silver
to baser metal by means of solder had
been known from remote times. The gay
caparisons of horse and rider in the tour
naments made a demand for work Of this
sort, and Otley. little town to the north
Of Sheffield, was long center of it's trade,
says Handicraft. 1t is related that as
the call for such trappings went out, its
craftsmen drifted toward Sheffield, and it
is not unlikely that through their knowl-
edge and skill the copper plating was per-
fected.
1t was at once recognized and copied by
the French. who had hitherto known only
the joining by means of solder, and was
used for fifty years or more, when the
modern process of electro-plating super
seeded it, For time after the discovery
of the latter method, following a COM
mon law. the old plate was discredited.
and many fine piece suffered in careless
hands. Today collectors place a choice
piece of Sheffield plate side by side with
sterling silver.
which is also our own, has remained prac-
tically unchanged for 500 years. Two
hundred years ago it was raised for about
twenty-five years. but the test of wear
proved 1t too soft to be durable. This
silver has the figure of Britannia stamped
upon 1t and is known to the trade as
Queen Anne silver. It's standard is still
lawful, but seldom called for. With the
date and sterling mark Of all English sill
yer is also the mark of the Office of which
it is assayed. and the registered mark of
the maker. or the shop from which it is
sold. There are now seven offices where
silver may be assayed, some of the older
ones, like York and Exeter. having been
discontinued. London is the oldest among
them. its leopard's head being SO highly
esteemed that 1t is not unusual for manu-
facturers in the other cities to send their
work there for it's marks. At the Gold
smiths Hall in London, date letters are
preserved from the time of Queen Eliza
beth: Edinburgh has date letters from the
seventeenth century. and Dublin from
somewhat later. but for the most part the
! lists begin close upon the date Of our in
dependence, that of Sheffield starting in
1773.
