wev Moderator Posts: 4121 Registered: Apr 99	posted 12-30-2003 11:02 AM I received a query this morning that has me stumped. Is anyone familiar with this mark/maker? IP: Logged
swarter Moderator Posts: 2920 Registered: May 2003	posted 12-30-2003 12:17 PM The lighting on the lettering makes it appear raised. Could these be cast? If so thy may not even be silver. IP: Logged

They kind of look like pewter or white metal or silverplate. Here is a wild thought, during Japan's "novelty period" I recall that a Japanese town renamed itself to Usa so they could mark their exports "Made in USA." Could something like that being going on here? IP: Logged

They came in a box lot of coin, and I never got around to doing anything with them. They have the ABC's on each handle. They are definitely not silver. I think they are white base metal. I feel they probably are American, and maybe from 1900-1930s. I think my pieces and the items you show were very inexpensive and available at low-end retailers. IP: Logged
vathek Posts: 966 Registered: Jun 99	posted 12-30-2003 01:05 PM I've seen some base metal spoons with these markings that were cheaply plated with silver which usually has worn off. If seen in person I doubt many of us would even pick them up for a look. IP: Logged
