Author	Topic: Interesting fish set - unknown makers mark
dejavu2 Posts: 5 Registered: Jun 2005	posted 06-16-2005 04:23 PM This has been a puzzle to me. Have been working on researching for a friend whose Mom recently passed away and left this Fish set to her. Marked A & D S. Also, they have an RD No. 142381 which I believe dates the pattern to the late 1890's. But, have exhausted my books and on line searches to no avail. Anyone recognize this maker? Handles look like ivory to me. IP: Logged
