Question We inherited a set of sterling flatware several years ago (8 settings of 5 pieces/set). We are trying to find the brand. The insignia in front of the word Sterling is the following: a circle with a dot (or maybe a letter) in the middle and a set of 3 leaves on each side of the circle (or a backwards E on the left of the cirlce and an E on the right or a 3 on left and a backwards 3 on the right).
