Reed And Barton Mirrorstele Silver Handled Cake/pie Slicer Pattern handle. Reed And Barton are from Taunton Massachusetts since the early 1800’s.A very fine example with a lovely elegant blade. The handle is solid sterling silver although it is not hallmarked the blade is indeed engraved.The blade is engraved “Reed & Barton, Mirrorstele, Sterling Handle” . The “mirrorstele” is much fainter and therefore is not showing well in my photos. Follow the link at the bottom of the de...scription in order to identify the handle pattern.The Reed & Barton story began in 1824, when Isaac Babbitt created a new metal alloy - "Britannia metal" - in his Taunton, Massachusetts pewter shop.Babbitt joined forces with craftsmen Henry G. Reed and Charles E. Barton to produce this innovative, higher quality pewter ware. When Babbitt encountered financial difficulties, Reed & Barton offered to take control and began manufacturing products under their own names. The fledgling company's goods reflected uncompromising standards of excellence, starting with its initial silverplate products and extending to the exquisite sterling silver creations that resulted from the silver discoveries of the late 1800s.The company has remained privately owned by the family of Henry Reed. Besides the flatware for which it is renowned, Reed & Barton operates other brands as well: Reed & Barton Handcrafted Chests, the world's largest manufacturer of handmade chests, cigar humidors, pen chests, and hardwood flatware. Miller Rogaska Crystal, handmade stemware. Sheffield Collection, a company started in 1908 and purchased by Reed & Barton in 1973.Reed & Barton maintains its headquarters in Taunton, Massachusetts, once known as "Silver City" because of the number of silver companies operating there.You will be able to identify the handle pattern via this website here.http://www.silvercollection.it/DICTIONARYPATTERNREED&BARTON.html
