I sent a message to the seller asking if they would be willing f to ship m, and while waiting for a response I figured I would see if I could match the pattern. It was only a bit of luck that this is one of the patterns silver queen included on her graphic because there are many makers and many patterns...</p><p><br /></p><p>I didn’t consider the 1952 date to be relevant (and I’m assuming you didn’t either) however if someone mentions a date like 1895 or 1903 (something older) this is a great clue because you can likely narrow down the maker if you know the pattern patent filing date (we are assuming that the seller is identifying the date on the back, which is rarely the actual manufacture date but as I understand it (correct me if I’m wrong) but the date of patent filing of the pattern.</p><p><br /></p><p>In your search for silver online, everything is a potential clue and deciding what is relevant vs useless will allow you to find something right beneath the surface.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
