Because of high demand for his work, Stone began taking on
assistants in 1906. Stone wanted each of his assistants to sign
their own work, so each craftsman's surname initial was added
along with the Stone shop mark, either next to the Sterling mark
for flatware or below the Sterling mark for holloware.
We have included a table of assistants' marks further down on this page.
In some cases it can be determined who made an object and during what
time period. In other cases, becauses different assistants shared the same
initials and specialties, it is impossible to ascribe a particular mark to a
particular person.
