Featured Help with Sterling Water Pitcher

I'm hoping someone can help date this sterling silver water pitcher. Is has a nice inscription on the underside: "Presented to Captain Henry L Jones 2nd upon the occasion of his marriage by the officers of the 109 F. A."

I believe the 109 F. A. is for the 109th Field Artillery. I've googled the Captain but failed to come up with anything. It appears the 109 FA was quite large and active during WWI, but I don't know if it existed after the war. Can anyone give me some info on either this person or the possible date of the pitcher?

The pitcher is marked as shown with what appears to be a Redlich silver mark, and it's also stamped Bailey, Banks & Biddle, which I'm assuming was the retailer. The monogram on the side of the pitcher isn't HLJ, so perhaps the piece was handed down or sold to someone who had it engraved.

Thanks for your help!

Maybe the initials include his wife's first name? I see C J H (with the J front and center over hers C and his H?

Bakersgma, THANK YOU!!! So very few antiques and collectibles have a known provenance. It's wonderful to know about the original owner of this pretty piece.

 

Any time!
