Re: Simpson Hall & Miller/International Silver Co

Hall Miller and Simpson made detailed pieces , their mark survived till the very early 1900's , the were located in Wallingford Conn and as far as I remember used local glass companies and not sure if they used the majors, their work was much more to quality than quantity.  This should be a sterling piece accompanied by American Brillant Glass probably from logo description it dates to about 1890.  would love to see it wish you had included a picture

The best ABG is very very clear , their is a light bit of cloudiness in some of the ABG pieces, this came from owners of the big glass houses when they found their  rising costs in labor could be offset  by dipping pieces quickly in acid wash , final result was very close to hand polished pieces but you can see the subtle difference
