Help with Sterling flatware

Postby ShelMD » Fri Mar 16, 2012 3:54 pm

hello. A box of silverware was discovered in the house and I was trying to research them. I *think* found out most of it from this website. After looking through here I believe the pieces to be sterling Sheffield 1914. That said and after staring at the 3 symbols, I'm thinking the last one looks like a horse more than a lion. I see : a crown, a "W" and a horse. Can anyone help me figure it out or maybe confirm that I am correct in the "Sheffield 1914 sterling" determination?
thanks in advance for your time.

Hi:

The pattern name is John Alden, originally introduced by Watson in 1911.
