the date for Woodside sterling co is 1869-1925, the date for Fisher is 1930s - maybe they took over or bought out old stock?
maybe @Bakersgma can help once her eyes are back in focus

 

Perfect timing, CX!

Rainwater gives a date for Woodside being succeeded by Richard M Wood(s) & Co as 1920. And says that Fischer was successor to M. Fred Hirsch in 1936. She also says that Wood(s) was a wholesaler around 1940. That's clear as mud, right?

Good question about why 2 of the same design could get from Woodside to Fischer.

 

Let me add another wrinkle from Rainwater. About Hirsch she says they were manufacturers and jobbers (jobbers produce on order for others who mark as their own.) She also gives them an in business date range of 1920- 1945, despite her entry on Fischer giving a date of 1936. Perhaps they were also producing as jobber for Woodside and that's how Fischer got the design?

 

Thanks a bunch for the reasonable suggestions.

 

Is it a little bit georg jensen style?
