London Cattle Show Trophy British Hallmark Help

[rtornai]

I have an antique victorian era cattle show trophy with hallmarks that I have not been able to identify. I believe this was made circa 1880-1910 and was warded as a cattle show prize. In addition to the hallmarks on the bottom the piece has been engraved Thorley's Special Prize. Thorley's was an animal feed company headquartered in London. Makers' mark on underside.

Any assistance in identification would be appreciated.

Thank you AG2012!!

Is there a date code identifiable in this silverplate mark?

I'm assuming based on this chronology that this hallmark would have been used from 1853-1925

CHRONOLOGY:
Thomas Law (& Co.) ca. 1750-1775
John Law (& Sons) 1775-1824
Joseph Law, John Oxley and Henry Atkin 1824-1829
Atkin, Oxley & Co. 1829-1840
Henry Atkin & Co. 1840-1853
Atkin Brothers 1853-1925
Atkin Brothers Ltd. 1925
purchased Thomas Bradbury & Sons c. 1940

Hi,
Based on the burner and the marks, it should be second half of the 19th century or turn of the 19th century, not later than WWI.
More precise dating is not possible.
Professional description is ``late Victorian`` that`s good enough.
