Silver plate Tankard 1929 Horse Show Award ID

Big Tankard About 8" to top of lid, 4.25" Bottom Diameter. 1929 Louisville Benefit Horse Show Award. Only Mark I can find is LS 277- maybe a 1 or another 7 for last no. Later scratched 27/320. Unfortunately, the interior has damage, shows rust. My questions are what to do about inside and anyway to Id maker. I took pix as found.

 

Looks like it was made of copper,see if a magnet will stick to it.

 

Is that the horse's name as the winner?

 

Now that I'm able to stop laughing about the name, where is the LS277 on the piece? I don't see it in the pictures.

 

Apparently the 'Peavine' line has been respected in the American Saddlebred community since 'Rex Peavine' in the early 20th century (and I won't judge, since my beloved Appaloosa gelding's registered name was 'Magnolia's Honey Eagle', and all from his stable bore the 'Magnolia' moniker)...

Holly Blue - a magnet will only stick on the bottom - would the copper be under the silver as in silver plate

GMA - I had the numbers wrong - I worked for some close-ups.
Do they look like owner id marks opposed to a silversmith's marks?

DFW - Thank you for the Peavine information

 

Those scratchy marks appear to be owner id marks, but wait for another opinion please..

 

others may say repair marks but I say dealers scratch all over stuff !!

 

Not repair marks in any way. And unfortunately not any kind of maker's mark either. Something with meaning only a former owner could decipher.
