Reed & Barton Sun symbol

I have a Tilting Water Picture impressed "mfd & plated by Reed & Barton."
That also appears on the bottom of the platform that the pitcher sits on, but has an emblem soldered along with it, with a large letter "G" containing a bee or fly, with an eye above the "G" and a rising sun below it!
Several sites indicate that Reed & Barton made hollowware for Gorham, too.
I would like to be able to positively identify the pictorial marks on this emblem.
Thank for any assistance

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

The applied mark is a Masonic one, it would relate to a former owner of the item.
