Author	Topic: Unable to ID maker's mark on a 4 piece Sterling tea set.
bobalew unregistered	posted 01-27-2003 10:44 AM I would like to find some information on a sterling maker's mark. The only thing on the bottom are the letters MFH and the #409 and Sterling. The 3 letters have funnel shap line's over and under,and short line's at the end of the letter's. I would think the set was from the 1920's ? Not sure about that either. Thanks for any help, Bob.
