[QUOTE="Ce BCA, post: 4374088, member: 18716"]It's the makers mark, hardware often had the makers stamp on it. It will be silver plated brass. Date range for this is 1870-1910, given the decanter style, most likely late Victorian rather than Edwardian. I would stick with the stopper as is, getting an exact match is going to be very hard, and an odd stopper will hurt the value more than a one damaged like this. Here's a similar one I sold recently: [ATTACH=full]366037[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
