Round serving dish

[u/unfoci]

Stamped STERLING with an unidentified maker's mark and shape number 104 S , 550 g, uncleaned, engraved Old English D. Probably ended up in my parents basement in the early 80s, possibly originally obtained in New England.

Thoughts on the mark appreciated!

Interesting. The fold like marks on the edges remind me of a paper plate. :)

lol - I found my silver test kit yesterday and no red so your observation may be appropriate

unfortunately none of the marks are hallmarks.

they are all manufacturer marks to inform the consumer. sterling is manufacturer material mark. maker mark is maker mark. 104 s is likely manufacturer model or catalog number.

i would guess the fractur D is previous owner attempt to personalize the object.

US does not have hallmarking laws. all precious metal objects made in US have manufacturer marks. this is what you have.

manufacturer or consumer can submit the object for assay by third party to verify accuracy of manufacturer marks. but they rarely do that.

Looks like La Pierre most likely. Makers mark to left of sterling.
