Author	Topic: Help please for 800 makers mark
jersey Posts: 1203 Registered: Feb 2005	posted 10-04-2006 03:26 PM [21-1039] Hello! I am looking for a mark on a salt cellar, at least I think it is. The mark is OAL R&C 800. Is anyone familiar with this maker? Thanks so much in advance for your help. I would post a picture but still have not the expertise. Jersey IP: Logged

dragonflywink Posts: 993 Registered: Dec 2002	posted 10-10-2006 10:22 PM Looks like Italian 800/100 silver with the mark used from 1944-68, 20 being the maker's registry number, AL being the province of Alessandria; R&C the maker's mark. Cheryl ;o) IP: Logged

It also referred back to another posting of flatware with similar marks. The maker is Ricci. Most of the older patterns are still made, albeit in 925 silver and silverplate. The fork depicted is in the Baguette pattern. IP: Logged

I had not seen his response untill recently.Turns out to be a condiment set (mine minus the cruets). Maker is indeed Ricci. I found it pictured on the Association of Small Collectors of Antique Silver newsletter July #39! Thank you all again for you assistance as always! Jersey IP: Logged
