ADAMS PLATE SILVER PLATE CO. MERIDEN, CONN. 25 The crossed hammers logo is the trademark of the Adams Silver Plate Company of Meriden, Connecticut. What it tells us * Maker: Adams Silver Plate Co. * Location: Meriden, Connecticut, USA. * Material: Silver plate (a thin layer of silver over a base metal), not solid sterling silver. * Number “25”: This is almost certainly a pattern, model, or production number, not a silver purity mark. Adams Silver Plate Co. operated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and eventually became associated with the International Silver Company, which absorbed many Meriden silversmiths around the turn of the century. Age Based on the hallmark and style, your piece was likely made between about 1890 and 1925.
