« on: March 14, 2009, 01:50:24 pm »

i recently post a question about a silver plated teapot from reed and barton mark 1873
# 2626 with a # 5 under it . i contacted reed and barton and they dont have the other peices that iam for.
Description: Marked Reed & Barton, A four piece silver-plated tea and coffee set. Circa 1873. A Nordic design centering an engraving of a Viking Long Boat, the lids surmounted by a seated lion that look like it wareing armour. they told me to look for an old catalog book and the catalog # 2626 does anybody know where can i find one.
i want to buy the other peices

Old silverplated catalogs are a bit hard to come by.  I would keep my eye out for one on EBay you just may get lucky.  I've seen old catalogs from time to time on eBay, fetch pretty good penny though.  As for finding all the pieces to a set can be a bit taunting.  First go to replacements.com and see what is available.  They also have a wonder alert function to help you search if they find one.  Keeping checking EBay and other online Sites that sell silverplate.  This of course can take lots of time and don't expect to acquire pieces right away.  What you are looking for is not a common set, and not to mention a well sought after design, and they will set the price accordingly.  I will do a bit looking myself to see if I can locate a catalog, but If I find one, I would probably purchase it for myself.   Not much to give I know, but you have a quest ahead, Good Luck with all that.

Ironlord gave good advice about contacting Replacments LTD and sending the information to them....they will then notify you if they get any pieces - be willing to pay a little more but is most likely worth it.

On Ebay they have a "want now" list....don't know how good it is....but you can put a post on it...many store owners look and can reply back to you if they have it.

Just keep searching.  For us "tiquers" the hunt is most of the fun/adventure/intrigue/challenge!
