**SOLVED**Sterling Back Mark help needed on Sterling Fork

I found this sterling silver fork yesterday and I have been yet unable to find anything out about the makers mark. I was hoping someone else may have more extensive resources than I do and tell me a bit about it. Thanks in advance for the assistance.

I think that is the "Manchester Silver Co." mark. I don't know the pattern off hand but that can give you a better
start to find it.

Found it! "Gadroonette" is your pattern, nice find!

Thanks for all of the research War-Digs-It, I was looking at those blobs on the markers mark on top of the crown and where the "M" for Manchester is supposed to be and seeing things. I swear they looked like cows/bulls heads!! Most likely just defects while making the fork.

It looks like the Gadroonette pattern was discontinued in 1939.

I'm marking this one solved, so thanks again!!!
