I am dating this between 1896 and 1898 because the International is not included as I have seen on other pieces. I could be wrong. Pattern number 90 - Hand hammered it appears and in very good condition for it's age.
WATROUS MFG. CO, Wallingford, Conn.The business known as the Watrous Mfg. Co. when it was incorporated in 1896 had been started many years before as Maltby, Stevens & Company. The company’s principal product was German Silver spoon blanks, which were sold to others to be plated and trademarked for the market. The bulk of the production was sold to Wm. Rogers Mfg. Co. in Hartford. After 1898, Watrous Mfg. Co. became part of the International Silver Company the company added smaller articles and novelties to their lines which were made in Sterling Silver and distributed through regular trade channels. In 1938 production of many of the articles produced there was transferred to Simpson, Hall, Miller, but still used the Watrous trademark. It was a popular brand for many years.
