<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 106080, member: 44&quot;]I have no help on the maker of the trumpet glass. I may have some help on dating this piece. According to a few sites E.G. Webster went under the names Webster Mfg. Co. from 1859 to 1873; E.G. Webster &amp; Bros. from 1873 to 1886 and under the name of E. G. Webster &amp; Son from 1886 to 1928. International Silver took over in 1928. The Webster trademarks were used until 1961. In 1961 the name was changed to Webster-Wilcox.</p><p><br /></p><p>To back up and add to the above, Cheryl (dragonflywink) on the Silver Salon forum said:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Turner attributes the W-in-star on spiderweb to E.G.Webster &amp; Son for both sterling and silver plate. Oddly, he shows the &quot;&amp; Son&quot; as in business from 1883-1923 under sterling manufacturers (the mark shown also says &quot;STERLING 925/1000&quot;) and 1886-1923 under electroplate, with the original E.G.Webster starting up in 1859.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure, probably not, if the above is insinuating the spider mark was used when the company was E.G. Webster &amp; Son???</p><p>Scroll down to the 5th post:</p><p><a href="http://www.smpub.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/001532.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.smpub.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/001532.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.smpub.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/001532.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Cheryl (dragonflywink) may pop in on this thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the 925-1000 marks site, the spider web is included in the marks used under the E.G.
