Stumped on another hallmark; it looks like the designer knew what he was doing so I was shocked to find nothing about "E.E.I. & Co." online. Anybody seen this before?
Thanks to anyone who might be able to provide some answers

This is John Wendt's 'Moresque' pattern, design patented by Bernard D. Beiderhase in 1873 (D6967), E.E. Isabelle & Co. was a Cincinnati, OH retailer...

Thank you very much for the pattern ID! Nice job tracking down the "E.E.I. & Co." retailer too. Really appreciate your expertise.

Thank you, WEV, should have checked your site, but just pulled the name from my files - apparently by 1925 his name wasn't remembered correctly (and my memory isn't what it used to be either...)
