I was at an auction and picked up this (used to be) silverplated piece in a box of beer steins. I have spent hours trying to date this thing but cant find anything close.

It is about 3" high and about a soup can sized around. The maker stamp is Wilcox Silverplating Co. And the (I'm guessing) design # is 1354. I found some info on the company but not much in the way of dating.

All help is much appreciated,
Matt

Just tidying up some blasts from the past (including some very ancient ones), largely for the benefit of anyone searching the site for information.

Wilcox Britannia Co. (founded 1865) didn’t change its name to the Wilcox Silver Plate Co. until 1867, so the mark is after that change. Although they became part of the International Silver Company in 1898, they continued using their own ‘circle’ mark (like yours) until at least 1923 when it was progressively replaced by a ‘half circle’ mark with their name round the top edge and International Silver’s at the bottom.
