✅ SOLVED Backmark help needed.

I can't find anything on this backmark. Plain front flat button. I am guessing it is John Fellows and Henry Young and probably dates between 1821 and 1829, But, I can't find anything that puts the two of them together. They werevboth in New York but there is a void in their history between 1821 and 1829. This depressed backmark reads "Fellows & Young/Extra Rich"

I will check tonight in Tice, but pretty sure this is 1820-1840

This notice shows that James Fellows & Henry Young were in business together in NYC circa 1820.

Some history about James Fellows:
He was born June 18, 1783 at Rhinebeck, NY. His early life was spent in Troy where he learned the trade of silversmithing. In August 1810, he took into partnership his brother Abraham under the name of J. Fellows and Co. About 1815 he moved to NYC and became a merchant on Maiden Lane as a large importer of Sheffield plate.
During his career he was a member of the firms of Fellows and Young, Fellows and Reed and other companies.
He moved to New Haven in 1853 and lived there the remaining years of his life. He died there July 16, 1867.

So, if he moved to NYC in 1815 and his company with Young was dissolved in 1820, this product was manufactured between these two dates.
