Hi,
I think the maker is APOLLO SILVER CO - New York
Succeeded by Bernard Rice's Sons before 1899. Now owned by Garden Silver Co.
Electro plated copper.
Full lettering included separate letters B, R and S within rectangles.
Take a look here:

Hi,
It does look like copper. A925 is manufacturer`s design, inventory or internal factory number of some kind. Just a coincidence with sterling fineness.
Silver plating has completely disappeared, at least what images tell.
