Re: Barbour Silver Co/International Silver Co

Quadruple dates back to the late 1800's up to about 1925 , this is probably an older piece more towards the turn of the century but if it is the right mark a half circle it dates to the twenties when they used that mark

Barbour silver company was a relatively small outfit , international silver bought about alot of companies in 1898 ,  Barbour was purchased in 1899 with two or three other companies.   In the early 1880's Barbour came to New Haven and with his brother formed Barbour Bros,  at this time they only marketed for a company called IJ Stearne and Co., by 1889 the brothers were operating in Hartford as the Barbour silver company and than aquired by the interantionl silver company in 1899
