but there is no date mark. It's monogrammed and belonged to a women who was born in 1883. So from that I guess it would be from ~1900-1910 as a wedding present or other special occasion.
Hi~ Don't think there's any point in anyone else trying to determine if your mark is Tuttle from those pictures, though the pine tree should be surrounded by beading (dots) rather than stars. From what I can see, the marks and appearance would be typical of Tuttle. They made nice quality silver, often reproductions or based on classic earlier designs, but so did numerous other companies. Believe flatware is now the only production under the Tuttle name.
Your piece looks more like a chocolate pot to me, but no reason it couldn't be used for water. The scratched numbers could be a weight indicator, but an inventory or identification code is a definite possibility. What is stamped under the production code (35), perhaps a defaced retailer's mark?
May I request that you back up a little bit with the camera or zoom out. Hopefully, a clearer smaller image will be better than a larger blurry one. And again, if it is legible, what does it say under the number 35.
It is a beautiful piece and your estimate for age sounds entirely reasonable if that is indeed a Tuttle mark.
