More Early San Francisco Silver

[SilverSurfer]

Another piece of early San Francisco (but not pre-1860) coin silver, prompting the question yet again, who made what? This spoon is fashioned in what is identified as the Olympic pattern of 1875 by Vanderslice, per the "Silver In The Golden State" text, p.105. However, the spoon bowl shows the trade mark "satin" finish (orange peel texture) of Schulz & Fischer, whose mark is on the stem underside. So I'm guessing it was actually made by Schulz & Fischer in a design cribbed from Vanderslice, as opposed to made by Vanderslice and retailed by Schulz and Fischer. Or perhaps Vanderslice stole the pattern from Schulz & Fischer? Any opinions? TIA!

I think you have fallen victim to the very poorly laid out pages 104-05 of Silver in the Golden State. All of page 104 is to be read before any of page 105. So although it looks as though Vanderslice made 24 patterns if you read across both pages horizontally, the next Vanderslice pattern after CELTIC is SAN FRANCISCO. And all the middle row of page 105 was made by Schulz & Fischer, as well as the first pattern (VIOLET) on the bottom row.

Thank you! I must say, "Doh!" Obvious error (once the correct answer is identified!). Thanks again!
