Can someone please tell me what these marks mean.
They are electroplate marks. WH&S is William Hutton & Sons, a Birmingham company. BP means Britannia Plate - electroplate on Britannia metal (a pewter-like base metal alloy). A over MP shows that it is the company’s second quality plate (A1 being best) and MP stands for magneto-plate, another term for electroplate.
