Teapot marked EPNS 39006 on it what does this mean and is it of any value?
Ceeyracatastrophe
EPNS is 'electroplated nickel silver', so not hugely valuable, but if a good example from, say, the 1920s it would have some value. Best to take it to local antiques dealers, but ask several, some will be more interested than others.

Yes, it's very possible. Electroplating was invented in 1840 by Elkington of Birmingham, England. However, a lot early silver plate was marked with pseudo-hallmarks and, to avoid confusion with sterling silver, this practice was made illegal in 1896. After that date, all silver plate was required to be stamped 'EPNS'. So anything marked EPNS can date from 1896 onwards. Ken
