What does the “HAND WROUGHT / AT / THE KALO SHOPS / CHICAGO / AND / NEW YORK with STERLING and a model number” mark mean?
One version of the Kalo mark names both cities, reading HAND WROUGHT AT THE KALO SHOPS CHICAGO AND NEW YORK, with STERLING and a model number. It comes from the short period when Kalo kept a New York outlet, which Sterling Flatware Fashions dates from 1912. Cooper Hewitt holds a lotus bowl with this mark dated 1912 to 1917. Since Kalo otherwise used much the same wording for decades, this two-city version is one of the few marks that places a piece in a narrow window.
