Question
I have a coffee pot with a wooden handle and on the spout it has a heart.  it has an armor stamp on one side and on the bottom it reads made in sheffield englad with the number 2 on it.  what do you think it may be?

Answer

Well, I've thought very carefully, and I think there is a small possibility that it might just be, perhaps, a COFFEE POT!!

The shield (is that what you mean?) is probably for engraving with initials.

Made in the first half of the 20th Century. Various companies in Sheffield used marks like this.
