What does the “A small rectangle, circle and diamond stamped together, with 925 or STERLING and a model number, often with a year date set inside a circle and diamond” mark mean?
Dominick & Haff of New York marked its silver with a compact group of geometric devices rather than its name. You will see a small rectangle, a circle and a diamond, usually with 925 or STERLING and a model number. Many pieces also carry the year of manufacture set inside a circle and diamond, which makes D&H silver easier to date than most American silver. The firm grew out of William Gale & Son and took the Dominick & Haff name in 1872. Reed & Barton bought it in 1928, and some later pieces show both firms' marks.
