The value of a plate from the International Silver Company can vary significantly based on factors such as its age, design, condition, and whether it is part of a collectible set. Generally, these plates can range from $10 to several hundred dollars. To determine a more accurate value, it's advisable to consult a local appraiser or check recent sales of similar items online.

International Silver Company, founded in 1898 from a number of smaller silver manufacturers that specialized in silver plated tableware.

It is quadruple silver plate. It's still silver plate, but better quality silver plate.
when did the company go out of business I have seven different items from this company If you look for the history of the International Silver company you will find that they bought Middletown Plate co in the first six months of 1899, supposedly Middletown plate co and Middletown Silver co are two different companies altogether but I also read that the later was created or spun off from the former. If I remember correctly Middletown Plate co. started in the 1840's or so. Not 100% sure and I don't remember which site I saw that on either, maybe wikicommons or something like that. The Middletown Silver Plate Co. operated in Middletown, CT from its founding in 1864 until it was absorbed into International Silver in 1899. Then they moved to Meriden, the mega-center of electro-plate manufacturing in the world. In the early years (until 1876) they seem to have finished and sold hollow forms made by Reed & Barton. They also sold their goods to other plating companies who finished and marked them with their marks.
