Hey guys can you help me figure out if this is plate or sterling. The marking is off center which makes me think plate.

I'm thinking silver plate. Knickerbocker Silver Co. From what little I can find online it seems they produced silver goods from 1894 to 1962.

Just plated. 100%

The Knickerbocker Silver Company (of Port Jervis, New York) was the successor to J.A Babcock who ceased trading in 1894. The Babcock name continued to be used for a few years before transitioning to the Knickerbocker name sometime before 1904 (most sources say c.1900) until taken over by the Crescent Silverware Manufacturing Company in 1962. They only made silverplate and base metal ware.

Sounds good. Thanks for the help guys. I had a gut feeling it was plate by how it looked.
