Hi, What is the meaning of the "Standard *PLK*" mark on this mint julep cup? Given the maker I would imagine the cup is sterling or coin. I...
Thanks for looking, Bakers. I did look at the marks for Unger and Kerr to see if they might fit the partial mark I have. I was hoping someone...
Can anyone decipher this mark on a sterling lid to a dresser jar? It is incompletely stamped, so not much to go. I looked through the 925 marks...
