I can't find this maker anywhere. The set belongs to a friend, and she doesn't know where she got them.
I'm not even completely sure the letters are F, S, and G

Thanks for any help.

The Forbes Silver Plate Company was founded in 1894 as a department of the Meriden Britannia Company for holloware silverplating. Became part of International Silver in 1898. International continued to use this mark at least into the 1930's.

Pat.

Wow! Thanks.
So I guess that last letter is a P then.
I swear I looked all over your site first.
Great site, BTW. When I got a bunch of silver from my Great Aunt, back before you even had these forums, I found this site to be invaluable.
Thanks again.

I take that back. The last letter must be a C for Co.
