Author	Topic: unknown mark - bee
dandan Posts: 8 Registered: Sep 2004	posted 10-09-2004 11:44 AM does anybody know what the mark of a bee signifies on silver plate - is it a maker's mark or does it signify a period or date? IP: Logged
Patrick Vyvyan Posts: 640 Registered: May 2003	posted 10-12-2004 03:27 PM Various manufacturers have used bee marks at different times - including, I believe, Adelphi of New York and Christofle of Paris. A photo or more detailed description of your mark might narrow down possibilities. IP: Logged
dandan Posts: 8 Registered: Sep 2004	posted 10-13-2004 09:11 AM [Thanks for the suggestions - I think Adelphi is a good possibility because the item is something they could very well have made but their mark seems more often to have been a beehive, so I will investigate Christofle also - thanks again. quote: Originally posted by Patrick Vyvyan: Various manufacturers have used bee marks at different times - including, I believe, Adelphi of New York and Christofle of Paris.
