The Scalloped Six Point bowl below was topmarked for Childs, a chain of restaurants that started in Manhattan, New York and spread to more than 100 restaurants in 33 U.S. and Canadian cities. Its lid, made by International Silver Co., is nickel silver (misspelled on the lid!) silver plated, and inscribed with concentric circles and the engraved Childs name and logo, in script.

The bowl was made by George Duncan & Sons.

The glass pattern is very common and a flip found without the Childs topmark cannot be considered to have been used at the restaurants.

Photo from the Byron Collection of the Museum of the City of New York showing tables littered with flips! These would have had dark red or dark green bands against the white bowls. The photo is dated 1900.

More photos from the Byron Collection of the Museum of the City of New York showing clear glass flips, and dated 1904 (above) and 1906 (below). These look like the one shown underneath these images.
