Need Id of Hallmark on NA claw ring.

[Mark Anderson]

Hope someone can help ID the artist. I have been told that Mike Simplicio sometimes marked with just the word "Mike", but not seen with the name underlined. Thanks!

My book does not show that mark for Mike Simplicio who is deceased.
However, his widow, Sarah Simplicio began using his marks in 1975.
Not sure, but I wonder if this is one of her marks?

Hi Pat,
Thanks for your reply. I agree that it may be by Sarah, but I can't find this mark attributed to her. I have heard that she has used Mike's marks, but I can't find a site or book that shows his different marks, if any. Any suggestions on where to look?
Thanks,
Mark

Hello Mark.
Don't know where you could find that mark.
Here's a scan of Mike Simplicio's marks from Barton Wright's "Hallmarks of the Southwest".
