    HISTORY

    Henry Reed and Charles Barton purchased the silver company of Isaac Babbitt in Taunton, Massachusetts, in 1824.  The newly founded company Reed & Barton focused on the production of sterling silver and silver plated flatware.  Reed & Barton also supported the Union troops in the Civil War by manufacturing weapons for the war effort.   

    DESCRIPTION

    This listing is for an antique dated 1953 Reed & Barton sterling silver H41 repousse Plum Blossom pin nut trinket dish.  This diminuitive piece could also be converted to a pin cushion.  The dish is oblong in shape with the repousse Plum Blossom pattern surrounding the rim.  The underside of the dish carries the embossed Reed & Barton figural mark, the wording REED & BARTON H41 STERLING and the engraved initials V. S. W, and the date 4 -10- 53.     

    CONDITION

    This antique Reed & Barton sterling silver H41 repousse Plum Blossom nut trinket dish is in overall wonderful condition.  The sterling silver is free of any dents or bends; the surface of the sterling silver carries a warm antique patina.  The only thing that I noticed were three tiny pin head sized areas on the inside of the dish which appear as dark dots in the photographs.  In my opinion these areas could be removed with a professional polishing.  This antique Reed & Barton Plum Blossom pin dish has come from a smoke free estate collection and is odor free.
