Barbour Silver Co/International Silver Co

I have a Silver Plate, it might be called Wedding Basket, On back of plate, one handle has Barbour S.P. Co, International S.Co, on other handle is # 3687A. I would like to know the value and also what year it was made. Thank you, tmca105247@aol.com

Near as I can determine this is an embossed silver or silverplate? Barbour Silver Co. Coffee & Tea set, have the creamer but no sugar container. It has on bottom RSCEP plus numbers 5303 also 3 Hallmark design that has simular to a crown in center. Also has smaller marks look to be star + star in block forms. Any information of age, silver or silverplate or any related info would be appreciated. Thank you. K

By International conventions all items made of precious metals such as silver in Europe and
North America carry marking to indicate their level of purity, such as the word "Sterling",
numbers such as " 925" ( 925/1000 parts pure), "800" ( 800/1000 parts pure) or stamped
markings referred to as " Hall Marks" that indicate the date made, the maker, city of origin
and metal content. The lack of any such markings indicates this set is most likely silver plated.

I have submitted at photo & requested an appraisal for a Barbour Silverplate Repousse creamer, to no avail, as yet. I have no idea of the value, you said you have a Barbour Tea set with the creamer, what type of pattern does it have? I have found several Barbour pieces with Dutch design, mine is not.

I know from what I have read Barbour Silver Co was founded in Meridan Connetticut in 1892 & was the first company absorbed by International Silver. It was then "factory A" but continued to use the Barbour Silver hallmark until 1931.

I have been ubable to find any descriptions of the patterns Barbour Silver Co used prior to ISC merge.

The piece I have is beautiful. I would like to find more pieces like it, but, I fear it will be a life long quest. & Short of traveling to Cn. I may never get any further info.

Barbour Silver Co. 1882 became a division of
international Silver in 1898 of Hartford,
Ct. The Coffee/Tea Set that I have also bears
a marking that was used by Webster &
Sons 1865 of Brooklyn, NY. The pattern that
I have is of embossed leaves and berries or g
grapes. Have not been able to find out what
the RSCEP stands for? Any info would be
appreciated. Thanks

The RSCEP mark is actually: BSCEP, which stands for Barbour Silver Company Extra/Electroplate. I believe it is silver plate over nickel silver. I have a very large Barbour tray that also contains several other marks as well...3 stars in boxes...numbers 5216/18...3 hallmarks, including 1 that is an arm, holding a sledge hammer, rising out of a basket. The other 2 marks are indescribable. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a Barbour vase. This is what is on the bottom. Barbour S.P. co International S. co and the #3739 on the bottom. I don't know anything about this vase or the company.

Have pictures, unsure if too large to load. Wt. 2.8lbs with windmill and pipes on disk with #3745.

Could email pictures for discription and value help.

Could it be pre International Silver??

You should have no problem with the pictures as the system should be able to auto-scale them to fit properly. My suggestion is to use the "Photos" upload link.

Hello .. if items are marked Internation Silver are they silver or silver plate??

I have a food or pie or cake stand, Don't know which it is. It has three feet which have a decorative work on each foot. It stand 1" from botton of feet to top of stand. It is 9.5 inches from across the top of the stand. It says for the mark on the back of the piece CARLTON SILVERPLATE. It has etched on the top a pattern of which I do not know..It has a place in the middle with no etching except for a single small tiny star or flower. I would like to know of the pattern of this piece and what it would be worth. Please help.

I have received 2 metal plates or serving plates could be decorative for all I know.  Each has a mark of Wm A Rogers on the back inlaid into a small scroll frame around it.  Each has a decorative etching on the front in the middle.  Each has scalloped edges in some pattern of which I do not know.  The color of the pieces seems to be gold or bronze.. I don't know if that is what the metal is underneath or  if it is a silver piece underneath?  The edges further in has cutout shapes all along the edge of the pieces.  I would like to know the pattern of these 2 pieces and the worth of each one if anyone knows where this can be done? Please Help!!

How can I see the picture? Is that suitable for my home furniture?

I have a footed tray, BSCEP, Balbour Silver Company, Electro Plate with the Balbour three trade markings, also * + *, numbers 05 600/12 1/2 and scratched on it below trade markings is 24 D ?? (can read two end #'s). The tray looks to be copper with silver over it...the copper(?) shows through the underneath as well through the worn silver plate. The engraving in center on the copper that shows is flowers and leaves. The edge all around the tray is 3D of grapes and leaves. In all my search...I can't find a piece like it.
ANY IDEA'S on what this is??? Any info would be appreciated...

My father spent over 43 years at International Silver. At 86, he might know about markings and individual pieces. He was a buffer.

He also has many many pieces from gold plate to flatware.
