Princeton by Mount Vernon

I found several references to a "Princeton" pattern. One was by Gorham (also referenced to Wood and Hughes) dated back to 1893. The design of that pattern was one of ornate scroll work, although I could not find an example of a piece.

Yet another was by Mount Vernon and dated back to 1915. Here is an example of the Mount Vernon design:
