Good evening from Rhode Island!
I have another knife with marks I cannot identify and not for a lack of searching.
The knife measures 8" long and weighs 57g.
Any assistance or hints are greatly appreciated.

Albert Coles
Re: Another Knife Makers Marks are a Mystery
Thanks wev. I have several Albert Coles pieces but all have the AC in the diamond. Is your example a variation?
Re: Another Knife Makers Marks are a Mystery
In addition to his own retail operations, Cole was a major supplier of wholesale silver goods pretty much across the country. This is one of several wholesale marks his factory used. Without a countermark, there is no way of telling who might retailed the piece.

Thank you so much! I’ll start searching for a resource on wholesale marks.
Be safe. Stay healthy!
