      Pattern number and order number .
      Which number is which?
      I have a question. Is the "M" a capital letter or in smaller case? M or m?
      The M is for Edward C Moore 1869 - 1891.
      The m is John C. Moore 1907 - 1947.
      The numbers are put on individually too as you can see.
      They are not in a straight line.
      If it's a capital "M" then a pattern number of 2797 makes sense and gives a date of 1870 - 1874.
      If it's a small "m" then a pattern number of 20804 means 1926.
      I'm using the C & M Carpenter's info.pp256-261. I'm also supposing this is "hollow ware". It's lathe turned silver.

      I've also noticed there's 32 engraved on the glass piece.
      I wonder what that means? Is it a size?

      Vetraio50, thanks for the information about my item but the one question I still have what is it? It is a capital M. Do you have any idea on what the value it might have? I have no idea what the #32 stands for.

      Sorry bigbill, no idea of the value.
      Demand & Supply create value.
      Have you seen another?
    4. bigbill, 12 years ago
      no i have neer seen one like this before. in fact i am not sure what it is. you have any idea?

      I liked the idea of a wine stopper.
      The other thought I had was that it was a perfume stopper/dipper.

      looks more like a perfume dauber to me. The #32 on the glass would have been repeated on perfume bottle to match the fitting of the dauber to the ground opening in the bottle.
