Those are links to the pictures.
Please help me identify the hallmark and maybe what could have been used for this silver vase.
Thank you!

Hello,
I think is a partial hallmark, hopefully someone could identify it.
The inside has some wax, maybe was intended as a support for a candle...?
Any help is welcome,
Thank You!

Maybe ALPACA?

While it does look like a remnant of a P is next to ACA, projecting the full size of this half mark would mean ALPACA would not be properly centered around the base...it would be offset to the right a bit. Had it fit properly, then the top word might have been Blanca...both Metal Blanco & Metal Blanca were found in early 1900's US documents related to the Philipines. But Blanca Alpaca does not seem to show as in useage at all. I think we may be back at scratching our heads here.

The metal is silver, tested with acid. The reactive color is blood red. I scratched it deep so is not plated.

Nevermind!
Is silver plated, I tested again scratching deeper.
The word "alpaca" is probably on the bottom.
Sorry for misleading...
