How is Stieff Sterling 1940 Hallmark identified?

The Stieff Sterling 1940 Hallmark features the distinctive “E” date mark, used by The Stieff Company to identify pieces manufactured specifically in 1940. This hallmark is typically stamped alongside the standard “STIEFF STERLING” mark and may appear with additional pattern or workshop indicators depending on the piece. The “E” date code is part of Stieff’s alphabetical year-marking system, allowing collectors and historians to pinpoint the exact production year. Silver made during this period is known for its solid construction, crisp die-work, and the high-quality sterling standards that Stieff maintained throughout the mid-20th century. Because single-year date codes are relatively uncommon, 1940-marked pieces hold particular interest for collectors seeking precisely dated examples of Stieff craftsmanship.
