Hi! Found this in zip lock bag of flatware purchsed at flea market. Used advice given by my friends here to go online. I can't find these marks anywhere! Anyone know what the "T" stands for? What the heck is the second mark, and what the heck does it stand for? And last but not least, what's with the lion's head? I know it all has to do with year, place and person, but I can't put it together. HELP??????

Your hallmarks are for Towle Silversmiths. This is the mark they used for silverplate. The seconnd mark is a fist holding three lightning bolts. Towle made plated flatware from 1905 -1909. I believe the last mark is an eagles head.
