Sorry Fidbald, don't really feel a need to convince you, it is what it is - though not sure why the '925' or the lack of a reichsmark indicates...
Heh - know the feeling, always have at least half a dozen projects going on, get most of them done eventually. I'm sure once you get to it, the...

Congrats, Elarnia! Let us see it when it's done... ~Cheryl
Don't believe Emil Brenk himself made this piece, and would be surprised if his great-grandson is 'the silversmith' now - the company is a good...

Sue - they moved from Newburyport to Amesbury in the late '70s (1979?). On the 'good news' front, found their Facebook page and it had a link to...

Not deleted, just moved to the proper 'Far East' Forum...

LLace - not sure why any of the bans you reference have anything to do with whether or not this piece is ivory, it is, as clearly shown in the...
The #1 swan is rubbish and you should send it to my Mom right away so she can dispose of it properly.... [ATTACH] Again, should take some IDs...
Found none in any references, but I may have missed something... #5 is cute with that pinked edge, would guess MIJ, maybe 1920s-30s. #6 almost...
