"Quadruple plate
Wilcox Silver Co.
Meriden, Conn. (Connecticut)

1931"

Dimensions: Approx. 3.5" X 3" and 2.5" tall, weighing 5 oz.

We believe it to be turn of the century 1890 to 1900 and the 1931 is merely a item #.  It's a lovely piece of fine Connecticut Manufacturing History.

See our similar Meriden Britannia Co. piece, as well, in our online shop.

Thanks for looking.
