Condition
Good
Date Period
1836 stamped on bottom. This appears questionable as Derby Silver Co. was founded in 1872???
Size and dimensions of this item
Approx. 5.5" high, 4" wide, and 1.5" thick
Long Description
I need to know if Derby Silver Company was around in 1836 and if this is original. Or is it an added marking. The top of the flash removes and pulls up into a small cup, and collapses into a screw on cover. There is a floral decorative band about 2" high and towards the top of the flash. The flash is darkened with age and the silver plating is worn. If anyone has information on this piece, I would be greatful. I can provide pictures if requested.
History
My research tells me that Derby Silver Co. was founded in 1872, but this is stamped 1836. The stamping appears aged as the item and doesn't look added.
