With no marks for Coin or Sterling, the late date of 1882-85 of the partnership, and growing questions about the nature of Jules, Sr.'s actual classification as a working silversmith, I'm going on the assumption that the item may be silverplate wares made by unknowns and retailed in Warren on Market Street. Engraved for unidentified "Hattie", who could be a resident of Warren. Any other opinions are welcome. Trev-another mark for the records:
Fork Vautrot & Hull Warren Ohio "Hattie"

Is it yours? :)

Certainly hope so...wouldn't want that "standard issue, kick..in...your..door" as Pink Floyd so aptly put it!
Re: Fork Vautrot & Hull Warren Ohio "Hattie"
Not exact, but we've got another little lost "Hattie" engraving...in that case, with an undefined Stag Bounding mark for a maker: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=49986&p=155528&hilit=stag#p155528
Re: Fork Vautrot & Hull Warren Ohio "Hattie"
I'm trying to track down Vautrot & Hull also. Looks the same, but mine is also marked W&H Sterling. My family is from rural areas near Youngstown. No marks. Everything spelled out. Belonged to my grandmother's grandmother. Ideas?
