Re: Cruet set
There are other stamps but unreadable to me.
Re: Cruet set
Most sets like this are late Victorian and American. It's silverplated, the EP marking stands for "Electro plate" Some American companies used such markings in imitation of British Sterling silver, but the practice was frowned upon and seldom used in England.
