What does the “S. KIRK & SON STERLING in block letters, often with the pattern name” mark mean?
Kirk flatware made from the 1930s until the 1979 merger reads S. Kirk & Son Sterling on the back of the handle. Between 1924 and 1932 the company was S. Kirk & Son Inc., so a mark with Inc. dates to that window. In 1979 the Stieff Company bought Kirk and renamed itself Kirk Stieff, and later pieces say Kirk Stieff instead. If your Repousse spoon reads S. Kirk & Son Sterling, it predates the merger. Kirk patterns are covered under the Stieff entries in this database.
