Need help with what may be impossible ... ;0)

Hi, Everyone!

You have surprised me more than once ... you have amazed me on occasion ... here is a chance to absolutely astound me -- which I hope you can do!!

We have a repousse mirror that has the remnants of a maker's mark, along with some numbers. If anyone can figure out the maker, you will have my unending gratitude and Blessings!

I took several pictures of the marks from different angles in the hope that it will help someone identify the maker.

Blessings and much gratitude to everyone for your help!

Sincerely,
Susan

Kudos to Byron & Patrick!!

Hats off, hands down you are the best! I can't believe you guys figured this out AND gave us a picture! THANK YOU!!!!

You know, Byron, I tried googling the 9132 sterling and couldn't find a thing related to it ... Patrick, you continue to confound ... we are so grateful to you both!

How cool....

That is kind of neat. Good catalog number I guess. There are plenty of these mirrors out there now with that number.
