Those are fabulous.

I wonder if TRM is a persons initials or a manufacturers??

I cannot find any more info.???

 

That is the mark of Thomas R Markusen of Kendall, New York, as shown in Rainwater's Encyclopedia of American Silver Manufacturers (Fifth Edition) without any further information. He must have also worked in silver.

Addition - His name is followed by an asterisk, denoting his membership in the Society of American Silversmiths.

FLASHBACK!
I used to do this with steel square tubing waaaaaay back when.

 

Thanks Bakersgma,

This guy is a Good!!

 

You're welcome! I have a decent "visual memory" and knew right away that I'd seen that mark from my many hours of trolling through Rainwater, even though I never needed that particular mark before.

If you google him, there are a fair number of museum listings of his work.

 

Been there,done that.....White House Collection & The Vatican!!!...I think I will hold on to these & pass them on!!
