The Buck Silver Co was in business making hollowware items such as creamers, pitchers, etc.from 1900 to 1914. They stopped production of wares in 1914 and used the factory for plating and coating of metal items, going out of business in 1922. We thank SMP. Com for this history.
This two handled child’s cup has the Buck Silver mark on the bottom, which is a buck’s head in a circle with the Bucks Silver name and Salamanca, N.Y. Outside the circle reads, Quadruple Plate. The cup has been coated with a protective finish to the silver plate. The coating has been worn off around the two handles and in other areas where the silver shows through.
The drinking cup measures 3 inches tall and 5 inches across to the outside of the handles. We note that the upper lip is not completely round. Possibly a child might have been hitting it on a table surface or it fell to the ground a few times. The cup, nearly 100 years old, would make a terrific addition to an Early Americana collection. |
