Author	Topic: Mark on swan pin
rlmartell@netway.com unregistered	posted 11-21-2004 03:34 PM I just returned from a rummage sale with the purchase of a swan pin. The pin is the profile of 2 swans facing one another with beaks and necks forming a heart shape. The pin is 7/8" by 5/8". I have a question about the marks on the back: Left side- the letter c inside a circle. Below this is what I only describe as two parallel tadpoles lying in opposite directions (an infinity sign?) within a rectangle. Right side- 925 This my first submission and would appreciate your help. Thanks! ------------------ RL IP: Logged

The first symbol is a copyright symbol ( © ). The other symbol is the maker's mark, which I do not recognize. Perhaps if you could post a picture of the pin (front & back) and the marks, something might strike somebody. IP: Logged
