Have been unable to determine who made either of these two items: 1. A small Aesthetic style letter opener, marked "STERLING / DSS" and "072". 2. A silver cane handle with applied silver & copper decoration, and an inlaid copper monogram. It is unsigned, but perhaps the same designs have been seen on signed pieces. IP: Logged |

Two beautiful pieces. The owl and the bird in flight on the cane handle are reminiscent of Shiebler designs I have seen. IP: Logged |

After having the unsigned silver & copper cane handle for almost three years, the mystery of its maker is finally solved. A few weeks ago at a flea market I picked up a set of stickpins that included the goose in flight one shown next to the cane. The design, size, and shape of the goose on both pieces is absolutely identical. The stickpin is signed by the Howard Sterling Company. So, it is safe to say that the buckle was made by Howard as well. I have always thought that Howard produced wonderful jewelry, but it seems like they are underrated and little-known.

I just seen a inkwell marked by the Howard and Shiebler at auction (completed). Identical to one marked only by Shiebler. Maybe Howard Co. picked up some of Shiebler's stuff from Gorham? quote: IP: Logged |

hello, Howard Sterling Company and Howard & Company were two different companies. The inkwell was made by Shiebler and retailed by Howard & Company of NYC. [This message has been edited by Richard Kurtzman (edited 03-11-2006).] IP: Logged |
