::::: Does anybody have information about what Tiffany exhibited at the 1867 Paris Exhibition? :::::: :::::: There is a lot of information about Tiffany's spectacular success at the 1878 Paris Exhibition, but why is there such little information about Tiffany's success at the 1867 Paris Exhibition? ...

:::::: I still want to make sure that your cursive hallmark isn't the "FW" hallmark (for King Frederick Wilhelm) that is a tax mark for the Kingdom Of Prussia used 1809-1812 because your cursive hallmark is similar to a hallmark shown in the German Hallmarks section in the "Before 188...

::::: Still could be Provincial Denmark with (possibly) the makers mark being stamped twice, even though the worn hallmark is undecipherable to my eyes at least. :::::: I believe I've seen a very similar form with Provincial Denmark hallmarks, will have to check back ::::::
