Hi,
Cannot identify it with certainty, but it is similar to the mark illustrated in Rainwater for the Sinclair Mfg. Co. of Chartley, MA., in business ca. 1950. The measure would match nicely to the time period.

Tom,
The "S" only needs a one-quarter turn clockwise and it's almost a match! Thanks so much for your efforts- I think I'll retire this inquiry. Maybe this is a "fantasy" mark? We should be working on more important stuff, like 17th c. sterling:)
