  The ‘Neptune’ and JSS marks were apparently used concurrently on similar items.  Probably the ‘Neptune’ mark was used when retailers needed to avoid price comparisons with others.
     
 

The ‘Patent’ hidden in the pattern refers to the patterning process for this tray which was probably engraved and silver plated when first sold.
