" The following is printed on the bottom of my silver pitcher: &amp;quot;International Silver Co., Silver Soldered, Hotel Statler, 6-C-2 05080, 4 oz.&amp;quot; Is this for the first Statler Hotel in Buffalo?  Mike G.  Although the first Hotel Statler was indeed located in Buffalo, New York, hotelier Ellsworth Statler (1863-1928) built establishments in other cities as well, including Boston, Cleveland and Detroit. If your pitcher was purchased in the Buffalo area, there is a good chance that it was from the hotel in that city. If you found it in another part of the country, it would be difficult to pinpoint which Hotel Statler it was originally made for.  Hotel silver has become a highly sought-after collectible in recent years, with prices ranging from a few dollars for small, simple items to well over $100 for large, ornate designs. Like your pitcher, most hotel silver bears the name of the hotel, the manufacturer and the process &amp;quot;silver soldered.&amp;quot; (Seams were soldered for added durability.) International Silver often indicated the date of manufacture in a box, so if you see a two-digit number in a box on the bottom of your piece, you will be able to tell in what year it was made. (&amp;quot;21&amp;quot; represents 1921, and so on.) "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
