[didisaythanks]

Just wondering if anyone has info on the mark of Sutterley & Stewart from Phila, PA?

Any and all help appreciated.

Thanks

Without photos by OP it’s a bit of a guess still. But let’s look at Gilbert Tulley Sutterley (1863-1927) of G.T. Sutterley & Co. Philadelphia circa 1890’s-1910 or after.
Known: Manufacturer of select table items like coffee service.
Known: Seller of silverplate wares and more.
Known: Name found stamped on Plaza Pattern teaspoon (Reed & Barton, patented 1890) with topmarked personal letters of indeterminate origin. Plaza, though rarely seen, is known to carry marks which may be commercial user identities.

Found online materials:
Obituary is a descendant of Gilbert or his brother…George was re-used in the family.







No information was found on the possible partner Stewart, but perhaps this pre-dates the “& Co.” era. Nothing was found as to the demise of the company. (Mr. Sutterley shifts his address around, perhaps living along the Philadelphia-New York main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad?) Neither name came up under plater marks of Philadelphia on S.F.Fashions site.

That’s Gilbert Tuller, not Tulley.

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

Please try again with the images and remember to you use the Preview feature. Ensure your images are embedded as very few members will click on links.

Sorry Trev, but the OP member posted the original mark photos back in 2006. Lost now (?) but we have a minimal description to work with. As far as Sutterley & Co., extant images of marks can be found in Worthpoint files but I couldn’t find anything else that we could transfer without risking any alleged copyright violation. At least we’ve got a new name and some history to work with if that gets us anywhere. I’ve found nothing on Sutterley & Stewart so far, but that “Limited” seems to imply it may be earlier than the “& Co.”.

Hi Traintime,

I completely missed the date of that old post! Thanks for letting me know.
