Dingwall Sterling refers to the silverwork of William B. Dingwall, a fine American silversmith active in the early 20th century and based in Chicago, Illinois. While not as widely known as some larger manufacturers, Dingwall pieces are appreciated for their craftsmanship, refined aesthetics, and attention to detail. The company produced a variety of sterling silver items, including flatware, vanity sets, and decorative accessories. Dingwall sterling marks typically include the name “Dingwall” alongside “Sterling” and sometimes additional hallmarks or pattern numbers to help identify and date the piece. Because Dingwall items were often made in limited numbers, they are considered relatively rare and are sought after by collectors who value early 20th-century American silver design. Identifying Dingwall silver marks is important for verifying authenticity and understanding the history and potential value of a piece.
