thanks dizzy if can help
Your Teapot is a piece of silver plate. It was made to order for the famous Gimbel's department store that stood on Herald Square in New York City from 1910 to 1987. Department-store restaurants, often called tea rooms, ordered "hotel" silverware and dinnerware (hotel ware is especially sturdy) to be used exclusively in their tea rooms. The GB monogram stands for Gimbel Brothers, oyur Teapot is worth about 75.00 retail. I seen the creamers go for 25.00. The International Silver Co. was formed in 1898 when a group of American silver manufacturers merged. The company manufactured both sterling and silver-plated wares.
did you get that info from Worthpoint/?????
Yes, I have an account with that website. Great place for research. Back in the day we would look in piles of books to find answers and values. Now with the internet its a little easier. Internet is first stop for most Appraisers these days, comparables are easier to locate and simplifys the process. Dave
