On the website Silver Season you can see a 1940 catalogue of Community and Tudor Plate items. The "Chelsea" hollowware price list is in the third row down, fifth page from the left. This teapot was going for $17.50 retail in 1940. The earliest Community silver plate pattern dates from 1903 and is marked "Community Silver;" this was changed to "Community Plate" after WW I. The logo on your piece is a later version.
