|OLD SHEFFIELD
| DIFFICULT TO
IDENTIFY.
Expert of Wide Experience Is
Needed to Pass on Some
of the Marks

It requires a connoiseeur and ex-
pert of wide experience and learn.
ing to definitely identity some Of
the marks on silver and plated
ware which passes for old Sheffield
plate ana is readily bought and
sold as such.
In regard to foreign (not English)
marks on silver plated ware that
was produced in the method of
old Sheffield, there are examples
known to have been made in
France and In Russian, and It is
believed that they were also made
In Holland and in Sweden. The
PRONUNCIATION OF the old Pattern
Books by Sheffield at the end of
the eighteenth century doubtless
had an influence on metal workers
on the Continent, who were never
slow in asslnilating new processes.
especially when they offered. as
did Sheffield, q lessened cost OF
production and an appearance sim
ulating something finer.
The marks found on French sill
yer plated articles are interesting.
The authorities were strict in re-
mark to denote to the public the
for sale. In contradistinction to
the slovenlinees of English mark
ing this exhibits the logical and
protective system devised under
French laws. The articles had to
be stamped Double (replica), or
Plaque plated, and-in no illeg-
ible manner. There was no simu
lation Of the French silver plate
marks allowed, and the quantity
Of silver was duly stamped 10 m
or 20 m, as the case might be.
The maker had his mark, but it
took subsidiary place. The pub
lie had to be protected first.
'"The punch Of each maker de
double, or "de plaque has q par
ticular form determined by the
administrator Of the mint. The
maker also indicates on his works
the numerals denoting the quantity
Of silver which they contain" In
regard 20 plating on copper or any
other baser metal the worker can
employ in any proportion he may
desire. But he Ii required by law
ITO place upon each Of his works
his own punch determined by
the mint. He shah also add 10

quantity OK silver contained IN his
work, on which also shall be i'm.
pressed IN fun the word double"
In regard TO close plating. which
as q process came about the begin
ming Of the Nineteenth century, and
was applied to smaller articles
where the rolled sheets were not APP
p1icable, there are q number of
marks found on forks and spoons
suffers and sl1ewerss on spurs and
buckles, dessert knives and forks,
and other articles OF g. like nature.
Electro-plating was discovered
about 1910. The electro-plated
marks are imposing. In worn ex-
amples the row Of five stamps IS
not decipherab1e. What they were
originally 1t is not easy to say, but
they have been designed to appear
more important than they are.
