We have a manufacturers mark and somehow nobody noticed. Can marble or anyone tell me what is under STERLING?

I think this might be from a whole piece of society that we have lost notice of through the years. I've found many "Playground Notes" articles in the society pages of newspapers throughout the country circa 1920s. It seems like it was some sort of organized program for kids to take part in over the school summer break (?)

Here is part of an article from 1926 Lincoln, Nebraska newspaper as an example. Note the reference to the "Honor Boy" - girls took part in this so I'm sure there must have been "Honor Girls" too...

Excellent ID, thanks! The buyer wasn't sure what it was either but seemed happy to have it.
