The maker was George Sharp, Philadelphia, as indicated by his "lion, S,... Click for details

There are some condition issues. One (on left in photo) has some dents in the side panels; the bobeche on the other is a bit wavy. Also, though they bear the same model number, one is decorated with beading and the other with "rope."
