The Wyler book of Old Silver has a silversmith's mark, a small rectangle with AW for Antipas Woodward, Middletown, Conn., from about 1791. That is probably his mark. Of special interest isthat Antipas Woodward was "Sealer of Weights and Measures" for the town of Plymouth Connecticut in the 1790's, which may be tied to this counterstamp.
