Silver plate musket napkin ring

Bought this from a stall holder on my travels. Its a silver plated napkin ring. It was pitch black until I took some polish to it. Still needs a fair bit of elbow grease. Looks like 'American company' on underside.

 

Take a look at these entries for American in the name for US silverplate makers,

Cool. Thank you. I have found an identical one by Roger and Bros. Only thing is the name doesn't match. Very odd.

Meriden perhaps

Unfortunately mine has the butt missing from one of the guns so prob not worth a great deal. It only cost me a quid though and kept me occupied for a good while and that doesn't include polishing.

 

Mr Simpson of Simpson Hall & Miller made a contract with Rogers in 1878,

 

It has a Meriden Silver Company mark on it. I doubt it will polish much; they made plated "white metal" and a lot of the silver seems to be gone.

 

Theres a bare patch on the underside around the mark. The guns are also very jaded. Other than that I think it should come up gleaming.

 

Plated items like this won't look like silver so don't polish the plate off!
