I have this mark on a silver flatware set I just got from my mother-in-law. It also says “Sterling Pat.1932″ I’m pretty sure it is real sterling and not silver plate. Can you tell me anything about it? I’ve looked hard on the internet but can’t find anything definitive.
Concord Silversmiths Ltd.
(see Ellmore Silver Co. Inc.)
Began as Concord Silver Co. in 1925, using the old Durgin factory. In 1939 a new concern was organized under the name of Concord Silversmiths, Ltd.m and bought the plant, machinery, and tools of the Concord Silver Co, which was then in bankruptcy. In September of 1942 they discountinued the manufacture of sterling for the duration of the war.

Hello. Here is what our book says for this mark.
Concord Silversmiths Ltd.
(see Ellmore Silver Co. Inc.)
Began as Concord Silver Co. in 1925, using the old Durgin factory. In 1939 a new concern was organized under the name of Concord Silversmiths, Ltd.m and bought the plant, machinery, and tools of the Concord Silver Co, which was then in bankruptcy. In September of 1942 they discountinued the manufacture of sterling for the duration of the war.
I hope this information is of some use to you.
