Can anyone help me identify the maker of this wonderful 17 piece fruit set in a wooden box with a sewn in nametag of: Sharman D. Neill, 12 Donegall Place, Belfast. Is it plate or is it Sterling? Each piece has the same Rd. No. 372053 on them . Thanks a bunch.

Hello.
Sharman D. Neill may have been the retailer.
The HA, EA and FA marks are a silverplate mark used by the Atkin Brothers, Sheffield, England.

Re: Help with makers marks on 17 piece Fruit set from Belfast
For what it's worth, I have a large set by Sharman D. Neill in the original fitted box with the original Sharman D. Neill label, and there is one single differently-hallmarked piece which is a cheese scoop and it bears the "HA EA FA" Atkins Brothers hallmarks, so I do wonder if they had a relationship of some sort based on these the two silver-plate sets which are now described in this thread ::
