WB / W mark - Wallace?

I have a solid handle silverplate pie/cake server with stainless blade with a maker's mark of WB over W with a line in between. From what I have been able to find, it is Wallace (see the last photo), but I can't find a Wallace pattern matching this one.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave,

Just adding a couple of advertisements confirming the trade mark of Wallace Brothers:

Trev,
Thank you for the images. I have come across some of the plate on cast steel with this mark before (as shown in the advertisements) -- not anything I'd want to eat from. It was very worn and rough.

Regards,
Dave
