In this sourcebook for collectors and dealers, the marks are arranged in two sections. The first covers those marks which are based on name and/or initials. The second contains purely pictorial marks which are arranged into groups of similar designs. Full names are listed by their initial letter, initials are listed alphabetically, and single initials are treated together in style groups, then alphabetically by makers' names.

A must for collectors of English Victorian Plate!,
By
This review is from: Electroplated Nickel Silver & Old Sheffield Plate Makers' Marks: 1758-1943 (Dealer Guides) (Paperback)
If you collect English Victorian silver plate this book is a must. It has the most comprehensive directory of English silver plate makers marks I have ever seen. There are also Sheffield Plate marks which could come in handy if you can not decide if your piece might be electroplate or Sheffield Plate. If you collect American plate this book is not for you as there is little info on American marks.

FAIR BOOK,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Electroplated Nickel Silver & Old Sheffield Plate Makers' Marks: 1758-1943 (Dealer Guides) (Paperback)
I was disappointed in the miniscule amount of information provided in this book. There are hundreds of marks, but almost no information that is helpful. With that said, I am a beginner, so my opinion might not be the best to rely on, but I would certainly not recommend this book for beginners like myself.

Marks a Plenty,
By A Customer
This review is from: Electroplated Nickel Silver & Old Sheffield Plate Makers' Marks: 1758-1943 (Dealer Guides) (Paperback)
A wonderful reference guide. Within minutes, I was able to ID two pieces quickly and easily. Easy to use and very handy to carry with you to auctions and yard sales. It could contain some more dates specific to makers. All in all, a useful tool for the price!
