jimbo Posts: 8 Registered: Oct 2005	posted 10-27-2005 06:34 PM [21-1024] Any help on these hallmarks would be appreciated. The marks are on the bottom of a coffee pot, creamer and sugar bowl. It's hard to see the marks, but from left to right a horse ? looks like 3 birds. I have not been able to find these. Thanks.. IP: Logged
