Looks to me like the Lion in a T mark that Towle Silversmiths started using in 1890.



American Marks 9

Would this be a later Towle mark or earlier? Thanks Steve

Don't know if that's an early or later mark. Not sure how much it changed over the years.
I think your best bet for getting a rough idea of the item's age is from the style of it.
