Good morning all! I've been absolutely consumed with identifying the patterns I have and am about 98% through with a great level of success in part due to you fine folks! This guy I've had to put aside multiple times because I get very frustrated... the stamps from left to right read as follows: the first Mark is in a rectangle capital T with a picture of an owl and a capital E.... next reads Capital C. Capital E. Rogers A1. Now and all the variations of the Rogers name I can locate a C Rogers but not the C.E. with the additional mark. Now I just hit me out of the blue this morning that the the with the owl could be a clever way to spell out T-OWL-E. ( and if it's not it is really a very clever way to have the TOWLE mark). So I of course stop searching for The elusive CD Rogers and focused on antique Towle marks.. the closest I've gotten to it appears to be the Stuart pattern of 1899. There are a few simpler beaded patterns but it's just not it. Any ideas

The mark is A.F. Towle & Sons

"A1" is certainly the way the Brits mark silverplate; so, I imagine it means the same here.
