Dear Helaine and Joe:
I would like for you to tell me about this sterling-silver coffee-and-tea set. I am a retired jeweler who carried most American silver manufacturers -- such as Kirk, Gorham and International -- in my shop. I do not recognize the hallmark stamped on this set. All I could find was 800. I received this from my sisters estate. She had gotten it from my mother, who had purchased it from the Taft estate in Cincinnati. What is its history and value?
Thank you,
R.B., [...]
