That certainly looks like the mark, and if so, it's certainly borderline antique with the company being formed in 1920 and running on to the 1950's + rather than a confirmed antique. So I guess there's a reason to show pictures when requested after all.

Thank you very much, that appears to be it!  Much obliged!

Uh, the teens would be antique.  1923 was 100 years ago.   I've done this, too.  We show our age.  I was born in the 1940s and a good deal of Victorian stuff was not yet antique, and nothing Edwardian was.  Something from the teens was merely used.  😄

I did catch my blunder and corrected it in my post here"it's certainly borderline antique with the company being formed in 1920". I won't let it happen again. (:

Well, see that you don't!   😄

I am delighted that Orphie solved this one.  I got nowhere because I saw the letters as L S.
