John Hasselbring ran his company the Hasselbring Silver Co. in Brooklyn, NY from around 1890 to 1955 at which time it was sold to Crown Silver Inc., a company that went out of business five years later. Hasselbring was known for working with antlers to fashion the handles on his flatware and table accessories. He was also known for the "Baltimore Loop" for which he held a registered patent. The Baltimore Loop was a bottle opener which sometimes had a corksrew hidden in the handle. His silver and items such as yours were often sold through fine jewelers such as Cartier and Shreve, Crump and Lowe. I paid $45 for a pretty heavy-weight all sterling piece I found in an antique store. I don't have clue what the antler handled pieces run for. I suspect I was paying for the silver rather than the design since it is very simple without any real detail.
