Re: Candlesticks - maker Cruz, possibly Darmstadt?

Indeed, these hallmarks are Spanish.

The rampant lion is the mark of the city of Cordoba. The name cruz is a marker´s mark, Antonio Jose Santa Cruz.

Hallmarks like those featured in the book MARCAS DE LA PLATA ESPAÑOLA Y VIRREINAL. Editorial Antiquaria, pages 37 & 38

Hi Trev, I think you're right. Many similarities. So it will be the second or third quarter of the 20th century. Unfortunately, not so old ;) Perhaps the Spanish connoisseurs known more.

Re: "C" with a sunburst?

The hallmark is similar to Cunil silversmiths, but not identical. Look at these links, which are Cunill hallmarks.

Hello

Pentagram in a oval is standard mark in Spain for solid silver of 915 finenes, used between the years 1.934 & 1.985.

Carrot in hexagon is the silversmith mark. I had some pieces with that hallmark, but I do not know his name, sorry.

Re: What is CLXXXX

Honestly, I think it's a hair comb. Probably broke a needle and cut the rest to match them. The hair combs come in many sizes, 1 needle, 2 needles, 3 needles, 10 needles, etc.. Your hair comb is small, but not unusual. I leave a photograph of a similar hair comb. https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.j...

Re: Help with Spanish mark on tea spoon; Duran. 5 point star

There is an error. The mark of the pentagram was used between 1934 and 1985. The law was published in 1934, but the rule of law was published in 1936. Therefore, the mark was first used in 1936. The brand that is blurred is a vase. It belongs to the silverware Pedro Duran Morales. This silverware is...
