For Dupuis Freres stores and catalogues Montreal. Just a wild shot.

Thank you, S. -->>JC for Feb. 1897 places one J.B. Hayden of Topeka Kansas as out-of-town buyer present in Kansas City at that time...no other references on him yet, but this is far later than the general "coin" era: https://books.google.com/books?id=B3UoAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA30&lpg=PA30&a...

Picked up one notation for J. Hayden Columbus Georgia circa 1840's with pure coin mark on spoons.

Not finding among smiths or retailers. Letters look very similar to the Hayden of Charleston partnership. No doubts on that first initial..very clear. Any thoughts? https://i.postimg.cc/t4zv2M9d/image.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/rsWQWhhr/image.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/G3sMZ2cm/image.jpg

If it was brought in for servicing, perhaps a re-plater's date code? It does sit a bit off kilter from the maker's mark.

Given that there are gaps in information and conflicting reports concerning events in the Northern Russian Intervention by Allied Forces, it is difficult to place Harold Gunness aboard Sviatogor or explain why he might have been in possesion of the bowl. Here's what I can find. Gunness joins the US ...

Bumping...might these scratch marks resemble an attempt at the Chinese character mark for "Silver": https://www.925-1000.com/Fkorea_01.html

The recent entry on H.M.S. Ajax, through the wiki links, leads to information on one American who was part of the "Polar Bears" force (via U.S.S. Olympia transport) and eventually ended up in Hillsboro Oregon: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Gunnes This leaves the (as yet unproven) ...

Sears Roebuck 1927 Catalgue pages showing M-O-P handled wears with Sterling ferrules:

Enlargening the first and last photos (flip over) shows what appears to be letters stamped. N-like in first image. M-in-shield next to combined LF in last photo. Try shooting through a magnifying loupe in this area. The rest if it probably is just the residual irregularities mentioned. Even it wrong...

Images are not showing..need help?
D.F. = Federal District, i.e. Mexico City. PLATA is the probable word, being SILVER. If it were PLAT., that would be an abreviation for Plateria (a retailing shop). GAV is the maker initials.

Not a maker match, but here's what comes of searching "Augsburg Star": viewtopic.php?f=22&t=45847&p=134415&hilit=augsburg+star#p134415

Given the Tremolierstich, this seems to be the right track to run down.

"HDLE" for Handle. "TW?" is odd...maybe TWL for Towle.

A listed cup & saucer in a vitrified china with the Del Monte crest has surfaced and seems likely to be the matched pattern to go with this silverware service. It was supplied by Nathan-Dohrmann Co. of San Francisco and made by John Maddock & Sons Ltd. of England, marks which place the ware ...

The last known "B.S. Co." pattern dates to 1903. [There is also a large gap for "Bridgeport Silver Company" before their final pattern in 1913.] Holmes & Edwards apparently introduced this "Knot Pattern" in 1909, leaving a six year gap to be explained. The simple an...
