I have a 10" silver plated tray with a handle and short pedestle. It also has a lace edge. On the bottom it says Quadruple Plated and there are three symbols. The first symbol is a British Pound symbol, the second is an arm and hammer above an anvil, and the third is similar to a Fleur-di-Leis (sorry about the spelling). I bought this at an estate sale with quite a few Victorian items....any help identifying it would be appriciated. Thank you.

This mark was used by Farber Brothers, New York, New York. Not sure how long they were in busines, at least from c.1920 to 1950.

Bingo! Thats it. Doesn't seem to be a lot of silver items by them out there...lots of chrome and aluminum...Thanks very much for your help!
