Sorry, this one’s not in my references. Identification might be a job for the Birmingham Assay Office.

FYI.
This information from the very helpful Birmingham Assay Office.

“The initials EEB belonged to Edward Ernest Bishop, Bournemouth, first registered in 1896 same year the item was hallmarked, as a Silversmith & Goldsmith”
