ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
“Barton Silver” most likely refers to Reed & Barton, a renowned American silversmith founded in 1824. The company became famous for its high-quality sterling silver and silver-plated flatware, tea services, and decorative pieces. Reed & Barton produced elegant silverware for nearly two centuries before closing in 2015. Authentic pieces are typically stamped with “STERLING” or the company name "BARTON SILVER", and many remain highly collectible today for their craftsmanship and historical significance.
