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

Here's a drawing from Dorothy Rainwater's book of the W. J. Braitsch & Company mark.

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