Not Schleissner but Gebrüder Dingeldein, founded 1870 and still active in the 1930s. (Two of the founder's grandsons moved to America, where both became prominent silversmiths: Otto Dingeldein of St. Louis and later Cape Girardeau, MO, and Karl Dingeldein of New Orleans.) I think your piece is a little later - around 1910 - but certainly turn of the 19th/20th century is a reasonable timeframe.
Hope this helps!
