As you may be able to tell, I am new to this forum although I have found lots of useful information here. A while ago, my wife inherited a fair amount of silver from her father who was extremely knowledgeable about silver, and found all of his information without the use of the internet. A few weeks ago my wife asked me to figure out what was what regarding the pieces she had. Since then I have become fascinated with the stuff, between flatware, bowls, plates, candelabra., etc. and finding where they originated and who made them. I have a majority of what I have looked at identified but there are a number of them that I have only partial clues or no idea. The labels/notes that my father-in-law put on many of the items have helped and the internet has been great. I am hoping that someone can help identify some of the pieces that I couldn’t or perhaps point me in the right direction. We are not planning to sell anything right away, but may in the future. For now, I am just interested in finding out all I can about this. BTW, I haven’t found any good sites relating to Mexican makers marks, so any pointer would be greatly appreciated.

I have a creamer that I believe is from Pest, Austria-Hungary. It is 800 and dates from 1872-1922. The picture of the creamer was too large to post, but I was able to upload the hallmark/makers mark. A bit hard to see in the photo, but I believe that the makers mark is an A over BA inside a triangle.

Thanks in advance.
