Hi Oel
Agree with Trev, it looks like the same CJ Co.
Are you certain it is silverplate and not solid? I have seen a good deal of Chinese work from the 1920s-30s marked "SILVER" that I have been told, anecdotally, was made by melting coins. Sometimes the composition included a good amount of silver, other times mostly copper. Some pieces had only a thin layer of silver that even a light polishing will remove to reveal brass.
Regards
David

Hi Trev & David,
Thanks very much, actually a friend of mine send me the one picture with the question; if I knew this American silver-plate mark? I thought the mark to be C:(?)J:(?) Co and the word silver made me not to think; Chinese Export Silver but you both have convinced me. Great work!
Best,
Oel.
