Long Description
Hi! I have the creamer and sugar bowl to a R&B set that is marked 3612. Under it has smaller lettering saying it was paid June 29.1807. I can't find any pattern names or info. I thought the company started later and can't understand why it's marked 1807. Can anyone help? I've looked at pattern after pattern and nothing matches this. Thanks!!

The patent mark is probably 1897, not 1807, as the company did not go that far back . The marking dates it to around 1900. There currently is not a lot of demand for silver plate, a lot depends on the condition of the plating, you'll have to polish it up to determine if it's damaged or worn.
