S Kirk is a well known maker. Do you know the name of the pattern?

Nice find. It predates the Steiff merger in 1979. Too bad Stieff went out of business. Here is website dedicated to the company.

Thank you so much! It is very helpful since Kirk stamps are hard to figure an exact date.

Wow,

I've heard stories about people turning crazy profits on Kirk Silverware. 
Really nice find and for melt, can't beat it !! 
Keep @ it and HH !!

I live within walking distance of the Stieff Building. I haven't passed by recently at night but the signage is still up, and they lit it for years after the Stieff business was gone. Oh the rumours you'd hear about employees flinging silverware out of the upper floors to recover after work. I confess I detected two very steep hills behind the building, and no I didn't find any silver whatsoever.
