Hey I found these Queen Anne salt and pepper shaker set and don't have a year to go with them. What do you guys know about them.

I can't read the bottom mark. I see Queen Anne but thats all I can read. They look like silverplate from what I can see.

I thought they might have been silver plate but they are a lot heavier and just feel like quality. Figured I took a risk on them at a flea market for $5. I don't know much about silver plate except usually worthless.

My guess is the style is Queen Anne, followed by their pattern number and the makers mark above " since 1715 "

I would agree with that !!  Sterling would be marked,,, silverplate,, not necessarily !!  Since you said Flea Market I assume you are in the U.S. !! Most inexpensive silverplate would be marked in a similar way !!  If they are heavy its likely white metal base !!  Can you take a pic of the bottom tomorrow in sunlight so we can see it ??

There's another pair for George IV.

Appears the company has marked items as MASCO and " Old English Since 1775 "

Plated and worth about £5

MASCO created home furnishings from 1986 to 1996!

White metal!  Would be marked STERLING or EP of EPNS, etc if silver.
