    Description

    This lot is for three silver soldered 1928 Norte Dame water pitchers
    They weight about 50-53 oz per pitcher. They are 8” Tall, the bottom is 6 1/8” in diameter, the top is 5”, and they are 9 1/4” wide if you measure from the spout to the handle.
    These were special made for Notre Dame and used for many years there. I was told by the catering staff they have been in storage for at least 30 years. They are heavy duty and built for commercial use, in there day. In general they are called “hollow ware” or “hotel ware”.
    These are beat up and worn from years of use.
    On the bottom they are stamped:
    REED & BARTON
    SILVER SOLDERED
    6487-S
    80OZ
    UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME
    Also they have the 1928 mark, a tall falcon? Google “REED & BARTON Marks”
    In this lot of other types of dishes I have found stamps ranging from 1928-1937.
    These pitchers are made by silver soldering rolled plate and cast parts. Then they are polished and heavy silver plated. So if you following this metal comes from 4 sources; a rolled plate, a casting, the silver solder, and solder plating. The plate and casting are German silver about 20% nickel, 20% Zinc, 60% Copper.
