Looks like an anchor, plus a "T & S". Dates to 1893.

Believe that's an A.F.Towle & Son mark.

Its actually an old Lunt Silversmiths mark. The pattern could be Dorothy Q originally from 1883, but it is hard to tell from the photo.

I'm convinced it's Towle and Sons. I looked up the Dorothy Q pattern by Lunt, and it isn't similar. I found a listing on eBay that sports the same mark and they also listed it as Towle and Sons.

Thanks so much for taking the time.

Yes on both, A.F. Towle & Son was absorbed into Rogers, Lunt and Bowlen in the very early 1900's. RL&B would have continued production with their pattern dies.
