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.

Yes sir, Repousse!

Funny that they would call it repousse when it is a die stamped piece!!

I have some Steiff Repousse stuff myself. Very nice!

Wow,

That's a really nice piece... Kirk can sell for a very high premium, I mean very high !! 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.
