FredZ Posts: 1070 Registered: Jun 99	posted 07-12-2015 02:58 PM I have just acquired this baby set from a dealer who was selling a collection of silver from Cleveland, Ohio. I mention this because I believe it has bearing on the possible identity of the maker. I believe this might be another mark used by Cleveland silversmith Wilhelmina P. Stephan and will need to do further investigation to be able to say with certainty. IP: Logged

Scott Martin Forum Master Posts: 11520 Registered: Apr 93	posted 07-13-2015 11:37 AM Fred, I can't provide anything to document that the mark belongs to Wilhelmina (aka "Billy") P. Stephan but my gut says you have made a great discovery. IP: Logged

FredZ Posts: 1070 Registered: Jun 99	posted 07-17-2015 09:45 PM Scott, Thanks for taking the time to point out the initials for Stephan. I believe that the initials are outlined by a line drawing of a vintage ball vise. IP: Logged
