Old Sheffield Silver Plate Serving Tray

THis Sheffield silver plate tray is 9-1/2 inches across.  It has a 1/2 inch pedestal bottom, a pierced leaf design. The marks on the bottom are "CSCoInc" in blocks, the #623 under that, then a larger leaf in the middle, 3 smaller marks I cannot read and the word "SHEFFIELD" under that.  The front has some wear and scratching.  The back just shows rubs from being polished.  It appears to be a good quality metal.  I would say it is nickel silver.  It is very attractive and useable. It is a very nice serving dish for sweets with lace paper doily or linen liner.   The Sheffield company has no current records of this style tray.   

Shipping costs are sometimes less than what shows on this web site. I will go to post office and get accurate costs. All items sold "as is". My descriptions are fairly simple, everyday terms. I am not an expert or dealer, but I try to research a piece and put as much information as I can on the site.

I collect for fun things that are appealing to display in my home. Now its time to downsize. My home is overstocked. I hope another collector will enjoy these treasures. Most of them have not been used, just displayed in china cabinets. Some items have signs of wear or age and these will be stated in my description of the item.

Questions may be asked through EBAY. I charge a small amount for bubble and protective wrap. I wrap very carefully. Feel free to check my store "EAGLES NEST COLLECTABLES ". I have many more quality pieces. Thank you for looking.
