Cast flat band of overlapping leaves or scales at rim; seamed rings have chevron-pattern. Underside of tray bottom is engraved "H. K.

- Maker is Thomas Warner of (1780-1828) Baltimore; active, c. 1800-1820 (in partnership with his brother Andrew E. Warner, 1805-1812; served as first City Assayer for Baltimore, 1814 to 1823, and devised duty marks used). Prior to the creation of the Baltimore Assay Office, several Baltimore silversmiths, including Warner, used an eagle's head stamp as a pseudo-hallmark.
