    This tiny 1.5" diameter tea ball was inside a larger stainless one at GW.

    Mark is somewhat worn. From ebay search I think it is Watraus Silver USA, am I correct ?

    Here's the SFF page of american sterling marks that includes Watrous (note the spelling.) https://www.sterlingflatwarefashions.com/Silversmiths/SSW3.html

    Suzy's doesn't seem to have the crescent and W before the sterling. I see that the listing INH linked does, - that's not a Webster mark. (There are a number of firms with Webster in their name, but I checked them all.)

    EDIT - Replacements? I'm surprised. Sorry that I did not have my "computer glasses" on.

    That is Replacements link.
    I’m just trying to figure out how they can have made this mistake?

    I think Suzys mark is worn. I’m going to Email Replacements, I’m sure it’s a mistake, though.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Yes, I can see a W on it, very faded.
