Brent Posts: 1507 Registered: May 99	posted 11-06-2010 03:53 PM Hello all, I just purchased the attached Arts & Crafts sterling server from ****. It was intriguing, as the shape is unusual and the mark was one I had never seen before. Having it in hand, I am even more impressed with the design and the quality of the workmanship. It is a very nice item. Anyway, does anyone happen to recognize the maker's mark? I am stumped! Brent IP: Logged

Brent Posts: 1507 Registered: May 99	posted 11-06-2010 04:59 PM Thansk for the input. Erickson occurred to me, too, but the only early Erickson mark I know is a G.C.E. in script. If whoever it is is using a convention like Stone, then the first mark is likely a shop trademark and P may be a individual craftsman's initial. As for the mark, it could well be a cypher of C and E; I don't think G figures in, though a T might. Brent IP: Logged
