This silver tray has several markings. The letters EPNS are in squares. There is one of a man with a beard. Another mark is a crown, and what looks like to be the letter S in an old english typeface. It is numbered 626 and has what looks to be an acorn with the letter H inside it. The tray appears to be for carving, with a indented area for drippings.

Thank you for your input!

   E P N S means ElectroPlated Nickle or Silver. So it is plated not sterling. Is the bearded man facing left or right? Standing or sitting? Is the "S" in the crown or next to it? Could the "acorn" be a shield? Also verify if it is Sheffield...that is English not American.

   The bearded man is facing right. It is just a profile image. The "S" is next to the crown. (man-crown-s) There could be a sheild, but it looks like an acorn with the letter H in it. I believe it to be Sheffield because I saw similar stampings on a picture online. I don't know a lot about identifying EPNS, and there are so many different marks!

   If you click on the website I listed you should be able to find out everything you want about the mark. It is a pretty exhaustive site. Just takes time ! :)

   I think your platter looks great - I am trying to find out about a similar platter I have. It has the Letters N - T - E - P on the back each letter is in a shield and has the word Hallmark and the no. H 233 underneath. I cant find any info on it, can you help ?

   This is a silverplated American well and tree meat platter, made by Sheffield Silver Co., US a division of Reed & Barton. You could probably date it c. 1940-80. It most certainly is NOT Old Sheffield Plate English silver.
