I have a mint julep cup with a mark that is almost identical to other Meriden Britannia marks that I have seen but it's a little different. The "m" is missing from the top and there are only three interlocking ovals on the bottom. Is this just a variation? If so, does it give indication of the age of the item?

Many thanks for any clarification that can be provided.

Meriden Britannia as a division of International Silver - from personal observation, that mark and the 'W-" prefix production codes seem to appear on holloware dating to right around the 1930s-40s. 'Bogaert' was a Lexington, KY jeweler.
