    Recent death in the family. Lots of items that I have no clue what they might be. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

      Silver plate on a copper base metal - Birmingham Silver Co. of Brooklyn, NY, and later Yalesville, CT. - The company became Birmingham Silver Co. sometime before 1957. The marks of the company include a "puffy" crown, B S C in gothic capitals, and "Silver on Copper". They made high quality silverplate, much of it in an English style.

      Birmingham Silver Co. of New York formed circa 1957. Did someone clean it with a Scotch-Brite pad or Steel wool? It looks like it had a tough life. Sorry for your loss.

      I didn't know what I was dealing with when I cleaned it. It was really really really dirty. Am I allowed to ask what I can do with it on here, as in sell or keep?

      It a collector's site, not really for selling. You can check eBay sold listings, $65-250 for this set, however the condition now may be a problem.

      Do you like tea? If you have a daughter, she may want them. I would keep them, get some Blitz Silver Shine Polish, clean them up properly and start using them. The holidays are soon here, they would make some great serving pieces.
