Likely Edwin Morrison Roberts of Hartford CT. He apprenticed to Walter Pitkin in 1833 and bought out the business and stock in 1860. The P/star mark was used on Pitkin's wholesale goods for many years.

Thank you! I came across the name you have suggested, but never with Robert’s alone. The P Star mark would have remained a complete mystery for me.
