I have posted images of an Evans, NY 1857 spoon with an overstamped retailer's mark for those interested in accumulating info on backstamps. The stamps are "Platt & Bro, NY" over "Brown & Anderson". Is anyone familar with the location of Brown & Anderson?
The TE logo is also faintly struck again and partly covered by the Anderson mark.
Please identify the pattern for me.

Hi,
Brown & Anderson were retailers active in North Carolina during the third quarter of the 19th C.
I believe they were in the city of Wilmington, my copy of Cutten is packed away at the moment, but I'm sure other members will give a bit more info.
Regards, Tom

Information linked concerning George Wood Platt and his brother (s) as well as George Washington Platt (son?) and those connected by family line or marriage. This sample might raise questions as to the useage of the “Platt & Bro, N.Y.” mark in the latter half of the 19th Century rather than the earlier half: http://www.potterama.net/private/Genealogy/d18.htm
