Very different bracelet & necklace with same RA mark

Postby epicric » Sun Nov 26, 2006 10:21 pm

Hello

I have two objects with the same “RA” mark. Neither has any other silver or national mark, but I believe they are both silver. They were both thrift store finds, found perhaps 7 years apart.

The first piece is a bracelet, a linked series of lozenges and wire. It is fairly heavy and the clasp is a long screw which intersects the open barrels of both ends when they are aligned.

The second piece, a simple cord necklace, is about 17” long, and I have a matching but unmarked bracelet. It has a very simple hook and clasp.

Ive looked a good deal for the RA identification and would be very happy to learn who the maker was, if anyone is able to help me out.

Thanks much.

Eric

You might want to reaearch Robert Allison of Glasgow, Scotland. He was a silversmith who used a similar RA mark and he produced a lot of jewelry. I think he worked until the 1980's.

Best regards,
Pat.
