Can someone help me find a silverplate pattern?
I have a teapot, made by Wilcox Silverplate Co. The closest I can get to finding the actual age is that it was manufactured between 1866 and 1898. The pattern number is 5085. If you would like to see a picture, it can be seen at replacements.com. Just go to replacements.com, click on the silver tab, and enter Wilcox 5085 into the search box. The only piece they have a picture of is my teapot.
I would like very much to find more of this set, or find out if I have the last remaining piece out there. I'm hoping that there is another silverplate collector or dealer that can help with this. ANY information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Just FYI, I've tried every internet site that had anything to do with silver or silver plate, auction sites, local listings, etc. I really have to depend on "someone knowing some one" to have any hope or finding more of this pattern.

I hope this site will help you with your query. They are also giving you info on what not to do as the finish can be ruined. If you need more information let me know as there are some I did not check into.

The best chance of getting results would be by doing a number of eBay searches and then saving them. You will be notified as new items are listed. You will want to do several different searches, such as 'wilcox silver', 'wilcox 5085', 'wilcox silver plate', 'wilcox silverplate' - because not all sellers will use the same exact terms. Be prepared to look at listings for things that aren't what you want.
