    Sorry, these are the only pictures I have to work with on this 13" long tray. Can anyone make out this obscure mark?

    Footnote to this particular mark in Rainwater says the company "claimed use from 1906" and was used on electroplated wares including "...trays, waiters..." and a bunch of other items.

    @Happy! I magnified 4X and contrasted with a little sharpening, but still don't know what it is!!! So YOU be the judge!! A Tree?? Someone with a top know facing right?? Maybe a Pineapple? But in doing all that it looks like some writing or a signature MIGHT have shown up where the RED arrow is pointing....BIG MAYBE...
    EDIT: I added the EB Silver Co. Pineapple to see....

    Note that the EPNS in Gothic font does not appear in every example or use of the pineapple.

    Thank you so much @Bakersgma and @Aquitaine. Now with the blowup I think it looks like a fat penguin facing right with its head turned to the camera, haha. With your help I think I will pass on it.

    What a great imagination, Happy! Have a great day while I chuckle periodically about your penguin!

    @Bakersgma I often see things...in things, weird quirk of mine. I saw a rattlesnake yesterday under a tree. Turns out it was a long piece of bark over the roots, haha. Hope you have a great Monday too!
