| Appraiser Comments: | Pair of table Pheasants, silverplate over copper, Benedict Proctor manufacturing co. Trenton, Ontario, Canada c.1910-1970 "Benedict -Proctor, a branch of Benedict MFG established about 1910, out of business in 1970." mark is BPMFGCO in Diamond. "Benedict was a producer of silver plated tea and coffee services and other silverplated gift and table wares.They probably decided to increase sales by offering their copper items with a clear lacquered finish instead of silverplated. Most had rather rudely cast silver coloured metal mounts ( Britannia Metal ?)." However, you have said silver. Your picture shows that it is probably silver plate. |
