Old plate, its makers & marks
A 1903 New York reference on antique silver plate and its hallmarks, compiled by J. H. Buck and published by the Gorham Manufacturing Company for collectors and silver identifiers. Its pictures are plain line engravings of covered cups, a two-handled urn, a teapot and tankards, with heraldic crests and engraved medallions, showing how decorative silver shapes and surface ornament were drawn for identification.
