The company that made it is E.G. Webster & Sons. I S stands for International Silver Co. E.G. Webster & Sons was sold to International Silver Co. in 1928. In 1961 the trademark changed to Webster Wilcox. I’ve not yet found what the numbers mean. I’ll let you know if I find more. This may be the same one as yours https://www.ebay.com/itm/E-G-Webster-Son-Silver-Plate-Platter-Serving-Tray/383223191520?hash=item5939e1d7e0:g:xBAAAOSwGLddrUH~ I also found this with different mark https://www.ebay.com/itm/E-G-Webster-Silverplate-on-Copper-Dual-Handle-Serving-Tray-C1900-Foliate-Design/392108168699?hash=item5b4b77d5fb:g:BYkAAOSwbE9bfath And this https://www.ebay.com/itm/E-G-Webster-Silverplate-on-copper-Dual-Handle-Serving-Tray-c1900-foliate-design/181998945897?hash=item2a5ffb8669:g:-UQAAOSwFqJWoWvd I don’t know enough to know why the differences in what they are being sold for.

This is a silver plated example, American Sterling silver examples would be marked with the word "Sterling" or the numerical equivalent "925" ( 92.5 % silver) . Values for silver plate is currently weak, a result of the Baby Boom generation downsizing and estate clearances causing a bloated marked for silverware.
