They were makers of sterling silver flatware and tableware. They were purchased in 1906 by Gorham Silver. Free Shipping and insurance. Ship to Continental U. S. only. Paypal users must be Verified and have a Confirmed address. Payment within 7 days of shipping, please. Will ship within 3 business days of receipt of payment. All purchases final. I've had several inquiries asking for information on James Charles Wilson, Jr, the name engraved on the plate. This is a family piece and I'm happy to tell you what I know. Charles told me that his family went to the inauguration of President Woodrow Wilson and he used to play as a child with the stovepipe hat his grandfather wore to the inauguration. When I asked him the family connection, all he said was they were cousins. I have not researched their family tree, I only know what Charles said. The date on Charles' bowl is September 5, 1911.
