Author	Topic: Hallmark Identification Help, Please
dderosier Posts: 4 Registered: Nov 2004	posted 11-08-2004 10:11 AM I have an art deco style plate with the hallmark that is a horizontal diamond with a bee in the center and the letter B on both sides of the bee. It has the number 577 below the hallmark. and above the hallmark are the initials e.p. on the left and n.s. on the right. There is some other writing that is not complete and I cannot make out. Can you help me? IP: Logged
