Silver Plate Marks

Looking some guidance in these marks if anyone has come across them.They’re off a Corinthian lamp base and have never seen the 1/0 mark on silver.

 

Gee...it'd sure be nice to see the whole Enchilada!

 

I’m sorry I don’t know what you mean ?

 

That is I/O not 1/0

 

Sorry...The entire item, a few pics to give all of us a good view of the piece entire.

 

Normally I expect the I/O mark on silver plated items made by WMF. But this lamp doesn't have a maker's mark that I recognize.

 

No wear on the lamp nice piece , I’m usually ok with solver and plated items but this one has marks I haven’t seen , thank you all for looking.

 

Meant silver predictive text.

 

Very nice...Thanks!

 

The IO for John Oxley Sheffield silversmith first reg 1841 .

 

Thanks for all the replies did a bit more digging with the last two letters and saw a fruit knife same maker.

 

Please show an image and/or source for that attribution - John Oxley was a Sheffield silversmith, your item is silverplate, and the 'I/O' bears no resemblance to his registered mark.



As Bakergma suggested, the 'I/O' mark was used by WMF on their mid-quality silverplate - and your marks are WMF, likely intended for the British market. Don't have the time to poke around online, but might guess that your lamp is a converted candlestick, if so, one the same or with the same elements could probably be found...


You can find all your marks, the 'six-petal rosette', the 'EP' and 'NS', the 'antler', and the 'I/O', on this page:

The I/O plus the stag and star marks = it is WMF for the English market (hence ElectroPlate and NickelSilver)
