Question I could use some help on a J E Caldwell sterling sugar bowl with matching lid? It weighs 13.2 ozs. I have sent you a couple of pictures and the 2nd one shows the markings. Any idea of value range~desirability, etc.? Thank you... http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/crystalsnstones/caldwella.JPG
Answer Hello Lisanne.
Unfortuantely, this website only allows for one picture at a time. The one I rec'd was the one I prefer to start with: the marks. The mark you've provided tells me that your bowl was made by The Watson Co. Caldwell would have been the retailer.
If you respond to this message, you should be able to send me the other picture (which I really need to see). I'd like to see if I can match it up to a known pattern.
