1891 Base Ball Stein Reed & Barton Thomas Mason Carpenter
Picked up this Tankard with an engraved Baseball scene with batter, catcher, pitcher, shortstop & third basemen. I love the batter with the handle bar mustache! Stamped on the bottom Reed & Barton and has the name Thomas Mason Carpenter engraved on the side.
This thing is not the easiest to photograph & get everything in one pic. Is this something that should be shined up on left alone?

I'd see what happens with regular silver polish. No harm in polishing, and it could really liven it up. Just apply the polish... Let it dry... And then wipe off with the softest cloth you have.
Just don't re-silver it... Keep the finish original. Wonderful pickup!

http://www.sportsantiques.com/ReedBartonFBBox.htm THE DESIGNERS The other most defining and creative division of the production department was the designers who designed the wares. Apparently by 1874 the company became fully aware of the importance of design. On September 4th of that year, a Mr. W. C. Beattie was brought from England, and became Reed and Barton’s first full-time designer. Beattie was the Chief Designer at the time our football box was produced. By 1889 there were twenty-four men working in Reed and Barton’s design department. Between 1874 and 1890, the design department became so highly regarded, that its designers were afforded very special treatment in that every convenience they needed was provided. Even to the extent that each principle designer was provided their own locked room, where they could work uninterrupted from anything that would impede their creativity.
