The Manchester Silver Co. traces its roots to Providence, Rhode Island in the late 1880's. According to a 1929 catalogue they were manufacturers of sterling flatware and hollowware. On a 1950 brochure, the instructions, "Remember If It's Manchester It's Sterling," appeared on the front page.
Sterling silver is a white and highly reflective precious metal. Sterling refers to silver that is 92.5 percent pure, which should be stamped on the metal, sometimes accompanied by the initials of the designer or country of origin as a hallmark. Although less durable than stainless steel and other precious metals, sterling silver is often employed in watches that coordinate or look like sterling jewelry.
