Hi,

I just recently acquired this piece and I'm curious as to its origins. I've looked in a couple silver marks books and sites, but I have come up empty handed so far.

Any information anyone can give would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

The mark does look like the head of George Washington so I would also guess it is by Galt & Brothers in Washington D.C. They went out of business in 2000.
