Re: Meriden B Silver Teapot

Meriden Britannia Company, founded in 1852 in Meriden, Conn. The company initially made products using a metal alloy called Britannia metal to approximate the appearance of pewter. They quickly added silverplated products and items made from German Silver, also known as nickel silver. The Meriden Britannia Co. became part of International Silver in 1898, but some of their marks were used into the 1930's. Yours looks like an 188o's piece, but it could date much later than that. Most  like this sell for less than $50.00.
