[QUOTE="lelliott19, post: 133546, member: 1971"]Thank you so much [USER=44]@Ladybranch[/USER] Awesome info! Began as Alvin Mfg. Co. in 1886 and founded by William H. Jamouneau. With the addition of partners in 1893, including George B. Beiderhase, the name was changed to Alvin-Beiderhase Co. According to this discussion on [URL]http://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=37262[/URL] they seem to think that the reversed mark (as on my piece) was used between 1886 and 1893. On the discussion, they compare the newer Alvin-Biederhase mark (1893 -later) with the earlier Alvin Mfg. Co mark 1886-1893 [ATTACH=full]34448[/ATTACH] I found this makers mark for an Alvin-Biederhase spoon dated to 1898 - it is pretty different from mine but also has the eagle (?) on left and the sword (?) on the right as you described.
