About Barbour Silver Company: Barbour Silver Co. was established in 1892 in Hartford, Connecticut, as a result of a merger between I. J. Steane & Co., Barbour Hobson Co., and Barbour Bros. Co. The company specialized in high-quality silver-plated hollowware and sterling hollowware. In 1898, Barbour Silver Co. became part of the International Silver Company. Items made by Barbour Silver Co. often have markings on the bottom indicating the manufacturer and sometimes a pattern number. About Quadruple Plating: Quadruple silver plate consists of copper, nickel, zinc, and silver. Quadruple plating also adds a thicker layer of silver, increasing its durability. Care and Cleaning: To maintain the condition of this set, it is recommended to hand wash them in warm, soapy water and avoid dishwashers. Summary: While silver-plated items are not as valuable as sterling silver due to the lower silver content, value is determined by their age, maker, quality, and collectibility. Pieces from Barbour Silver are considered some of the highest quality silver products of the 19th century. This unique set is one of the finest examples of Barbour Silver we have encountered.
