[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 1061803, member: 2844"]It is a cutie, inh.:happy: The .925 in an oval cartouche has been an Irish import mark for over a century. In this case import from the UK after independence would make sense. So does SasanĂ¡, Irish Gaelic for England. Here is a photo of the Irish import marks page from Tardy's: [ATTACH=full]209038[/ATTACH] The import date letter on your lucky brooch looks like a Y in a square. If it is, it means it was imported into Ireland in 1966. [URL='http://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Dates/Dublin/Date%20Letters%20Y.html']http://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Dates/Dublin/Date Letters Y.html[/URL] This is just the import info. The brooch could have been made at any time before import in 1966, so I hope someone has more information on what looks like a Henry Griffith mark.[/QUOTE]
