It means they are not silver , there is several silver names that have nothing to do with silver and Brazil was one of the marks.

The in late 19th and early 20th Centuries, nickel silver flatware items were sold under a variety of names including Brazil Silver. These all tend to be silvery-looking alloys. They were advertised as being a superior alternative to silver plated wares because they never never lost or wore through the silver plating. Brazilian Silver, though, is not silverplated and nickel silver is not silver

Confusing isnt it , sorry I could not give you better news
