Walter,

This might possibly be Iris 1902 or Iris Variation 1902 by Smith and
Salem or Paragon and Smith for Sears Roebuck & Co. These are silverplate
companies and all National Silver Co. members.  

These sterling and silverplate makers and products are really
complicated!! Hope I jotted it down right. Many of these patterns were
evidently made by several different companies and can be slightly
different and many of them are also known by other names? This info is
from my mom who collects and has a matching service. Hope it helps.
