7.25" bracelet. Approximately 14 grams. Found in a collection with a lot of 1970s Mexican pieces, but also a fair amount of Post-war pieces, too. I'm always dubious about Tiffany, but this has a nice look and feel. Real? About what age? Fake? https://img1.wsimg.com/isteam/ip/f276eb21-a9fd-4c4f-...

I've reached out to Hougart, who unfortunately doesn't have any additional information. Any suggestions for diving deeper into who this was, when he operated, etc? https://img1.wsimg.com/isteam/ip/f276eb21-a9fd-4c4f-a410-ca2dc53e1d80/rmsbolo3.jpg/:/ https://img1.wsimg.com/isteam/ip/f276eb21-a9fd-4c4...

Looks like Cyrillic GAB, but I'm not positive. Any help appreciated.

I took in a large lot of 60s, 70s, and 80s pieces recently and three have this mark. Any ideas?

Any ideas on this ~ late 20th century heart pin?

This sterling cuff looks like post-eagle mark Mexican sterling. But I can't quite tell if it's a TH or a TM. And while most pieces I've seen have the location and last name initial followed by the registration number, this one just says "NP", in a smaller font, and underlined. Any idea of ...

The other mark looks like a pict of a bull's head maybe?

Heavy sterling ring with braided rope motif. From a group of QVC and HSN-type jewelry. It's marked inside with three cartouches, each raised from the surface: "925", "ITALY" and then this maker's mark, I think. They descend from left to right. If the orientation stays the same fr...

For those playing at home: This is the mark of Southwest US (New Mexico / Oklahoma) silversmith Wanda Shiflett. She was kind enough to confirm that this stone is Burro Creek Jasper (AZ), and that this piece was an early one, made as early as 1976 but no later than 1994.

Found it: Running Bear Shop!

Might be a "B" or an "8" in what looks like a bear fetish? On a better quality sterling buffalo nickel ring I'm guessing 70s or 80s vintage but not positive on that:

So unknown Guadalajara Mexico silversmith "JCM". Making progress :)

Purple stone, about 3" long.

The mark seems to be a stylized "WL", but the orientation may be wrong. Thoughts on maker and/or stone material?

Thanks, @dognose. At least I got the right forum? :D

Understand it's an eagle mark, but still can't find the maker. Any thoughts appreciated.

First appears to be a mid-century piece with green turquoise / silver matrix and smaller turquoise cabochons. About 3" in diameter. It kind of looks like a scale or road sign with maybe a "157" ? http://www.fourbore.com/mala2.jpg http://www.fourbore.com/mala1.jpg (admin edit - one ite...

Awesome! Awesome awesome. Thanks!! :)

Heavy amber & sterling ring, I'm assuming the © symbol = 1985.

Stylized "F"? Upside-down "J"?

Thank you, silvermakersmarks! I looked into those marks. I liked John Robbins as a good match. And then I found this. I know this was a common form by this period. But if seems at least a strong possibility. At least it doesn't rule out Robbins as a possible maker. Here is my new piece (1793): http:...

Just got this mug. The seller claimed it was 1793, and that the maker is James Phipps I. The date letter looks correct for 1793, but the date letter for 1813 looks similar, too, and the duty mark could allow for either. I couldn't find a mark for Phipps in the marks on this site. It doesn't look unl...

I don't think it is John Muns, as I believe he died in 1768.

Excellent! Thanks. Anything that can help pare down the possibilities is greatly appreciated!
