Need help identifying silverplate maker/mark please

12 years ago

I have these salt/pepper shakers and cannot identify the make/maker from the markings. S and N in circles, the word ANT.LEAD, the number 102.

Any ideas what these marks mean or who the maker might be? The weight of each is a hefty 147g or 5.2 oz and they do not attract a magnet.

Not pewter plate....never heard of plated pewter....
They are a pewter like metal....made from antimony and lead.....which I guess describes some pewter.

Quick question - are these in the "style of" Art Nouveau or Art Deco? Just wondering. Thanks.

Deco....but Deco and nouveau overlap.
When you think "Deco" think Chrysler building....these sure look like the Chrysler building to me!

Sheesh...they overlap, eh? No wonder I can't quite figure the two styles. Umm, from BC Canada, so don't think I've ever seen the Chrysler bldg. Just did a quick google, and you're absolutely right...the same sort of style.

Thanks loads.
