Re: The Continental Silver Co. and The Continental Silver Co. and the......
All of which raises the question…Does any of this relate to the so named “Crown Silver Company” of New York (circa 1955-1960) which took control of the manufacture of four existing firms and put out Sterling wares as noted here: https://sterlingflatwarefashions.com/silvermiths-category/cox-to-cutler...

Re: Antique Taxco 925 cuff & earrings
Probably HECHO EN MEXICO facing outward around the bottom with TAXCO facing inward along the top. Best guess would be that the center mark is a conjoined initials type for “AV” with the A being smaller.

Re: Mexico 950 Silver E-11 JEH?
BTW..The image is difficult so it might even read TE-31. And since the initials run off too, I wouldn’t be so sure of JEH…might have been meant to be JEE or other?

Re: Mexico 950 Silver E-11 JEH?
Correct on fineness of .950 equivalent minimum of 95% silver in alloy. Mark seems to run off left side and is probably TE-11 for maker/worker (unidentified) “E”(the eleventh registered) in Taxco…see here for dating details: https://www.925-1000.com/mexican_marks.html

Re: Reed & Barton Commonwealth Knife NHF
R&B Commonwealth has been determined to be the pattern supplied with topmarking for The White Pelican hotel of Klamath Falls Oregon which opened in 1911 (destroyed forevermore by fire in 1926). From the Maddock American china service used there, it is known that Albert Pick of Chicago was the co...

Re: silver plate mark
Here a CC-in-Crown is shown to be Carl F. Christiansen Copenhagen 1943-1963: https://www.925-1000.com/denmarkC.html And there’s a ancient thread on this topic emphatically denying any use by Cohr. Given that it is seen coupled to a known Cohr mark (linked above), any new conclusions on a relationship?

Re: Need help with danish marks
Looks like one of the marks could be the “N.S” mark posted by Fishless which was combined with two towers and an unknown device (which raises its’ own questions): https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopi ... rks#p63362

Re: Need help with danish marks
Assuming everything is correct, this might help with dating…scroll down and find Cohr began plet production in 1921 but did not apply the ATLA mark until 1926, and that two tower was (failed?) out by 1929: https://www.silvercollection.it/DICTION ... NMARK.HTML

Re: Need help with danish marks
This pattern also comes up as a three tower solid silver product with at least one dating of 1926 assayance. Having the known pattern name yields a greater variety of posted pieces to this set.

Re: Need help with danish marks
A bit of searching found a site with pattern names…”Louise” seems to match the image corresponding to your posting. Indeed, a search of Cohr Atla in general confirms this style was produced by them, but it seems to be in rather low quantities as singular samples or small groups. Maybe just older, ea...

Re: Need help with danish marks
Rules are rules, so no disagreement over that. But for now, if these are all variants related to COHR plet production, then this might be an amazing key grouping given the singular pattern all tied together by the two towers mark. In the 8 samples there are differences in the towers but also similar...

A newly posted group of variant marks from a singular service set of one pattern, all of which might link to COHR product in pleet/plet/plate (numerous marks with two tower variants in each case):

This buckle by “ACE” is graded 0900-in-rectangle, but matches the same marking style used on a similar one (current listing) graded 925. [Most of these buckles are being described as Sterling with 18K Gold, but there are no applied grading marks for the yellow metal applications. This looks suspicio...

Re: Spoon: DOHRCO PIONEER topmarked LA PALMA
A recent find of a poorly identified photo on Calisphere has raised another remote possibility of the La Palm Patio cafeteria which turned out to be located at 615 S. Grand Avenue in dowtown Los Angeles around 1936. The building itself was dated back to circa 1926 but there is no clear evidence of w...
