That is Towle's trademark. Take a look here for comparison: https://www.925-1000.com/americansilver_T2.html

Pease check my another post, how come this mark appeared together with Mauser?

I don't know exactly what connection these two companies had, but on the surface it looks like Mauser retailed Towle's wares which was not a unique arrangement.

Good thought silverly...I found a interesting article about Mauser, the link is below

It seemed that Mauser had a retail department. Mauser had to sell all before it closed at the year of 1912.

Great job Trev! Good to know Mauser's history and happy to find out the answer.

Thanks again to Trev and silvely and this forum.
