Hello guys, I just got this silver marked 935 cuff bracelet and want to know any clue about origin or manufacture because I didnt see any marker marks on it. First to all, do you know which countries make 935 silver mark on jewelry? Could it be German or Greece? It is hand made? I would appreciate a...

Mystery solved. It is a marine old clock, found a very similar one on eBay...

Citing Jorg: "I assume the item's market value is not more than the scrap silver." I guess I can practice my cleaning skills then.

Thank you Trev for the valuable info, I learned much about spanish silver.

O.o So the mark of the Madrid court assayer means that this piece was for the royal family or something like that?

Here is a pic of the marks, just cleaned a bit the surface for the foto. I think Trev would love to have it cuz the only source I found the mark, was a draw that Jose Luis has in his web. If you want me to make a new topic I would. Thank you for the help guys. https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg

Yes, it says "taxco mexico" and it seems to be stamped also 22A. which I cant relate with any marker mark.

It is not a pocket/pendant watch and it is inside a quartz bed. I found it like this and looks old. Size with the quartz bed is around 6". Never seen a model like this one, I would say it is a wall clock or a table clock? Why someone put it in a heavy quartz bed? Ornamental? Im pretty sure it i...

Trev, thank you very much. I was looking for "Espuñes" (spanish) and did not search for "Espunes" (english). They have a lot of history indeed and probably recognized in Spain. I think I wont clean it yet until I do some more search.

Thank you for your imput Jorg. It is stamped for "Marquina-Espuñes". I know that some of their work are in Spain Museum (National museum of decorative arts) see: http://ceres.mcu.es/pages/Main?idt=6174&inventary=CE06158&table=FMUS&museum=MNAD They also made some work for queen ...

Got new pics of the mark with different light and I can see now like a 5 points star. The guy that sold me the case told me he bought it in Berlin circa 1950 https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg The is clearly a number 45 stamped also, thats why I thought it ...

Hello Im having trouble to ID this mexican mark/designer. Weird that the moving part says "alpaca" which is not silver right?




Best regards.

I agree with Theoderich but still with the info you guys posted, the owner should have a good idea and that´s the most important part.

Qrt Do you have a link to see the mentioned info?

Is it a number "13"?

You probably need better picture of the mark near de "13".

13 lot = .812 silver purity in German before 1886: http://www.925-1000.com/Fgerman_marks_b1884_5.html

Full restoration I guess, doesn't look nice as it is but it has a good design.

Hello guys im looking for some feedback here. I am about to get a water pitcher from Spain, 1860. I know most silver pieces can be restored and the restoration depends on the damage and it is usually very expensive. Known this, I would like to know your comments on restoring or not this piece: https...

Hello again guys, Looking for help with this cigarette case. My instinct says it is Italian but... http://img152.imagevenue.com/loc338/th_960984709_1_122_338lo.jpg http://img104.imagevenue.com/loc43/th_796098879_WP_000978_122_43lo.jpg http://img138.imagevenue.com/loc568/th_960992744_WP_000976_122_56...

Excellent information, thank you very much. I wasnt expecting such a technical explanation about those numbers but I could understand most of it.
