<p>[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 283759, member: 59"]There's not a whole lot to go on. The only thing I can think of is something that includes "SILVER." Normally the "mounts" are designated as "white metal," as in WM Mounts, though. Or BM Mounts, as in Britannia Metal Mounts. Given the centering of the word silver, those 2 possibilities are both too long. It may be that the full impression is "STERLING" on the first line and "SILVER MOUNTS" on the second.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since there are no other marks, it's tough to say whether the whole thing is sterling, though. And I have no idea who the letters in the oval are for or where this was made. I suspect the pattern name is what EXETER is meant for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
