<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 322533, member: 36"]I think these are American. I found a similar one not long ago with similar engraving, but without the words. It had the same Sterling mark. I had it figured for an American piece engraved by someone trained in Latvia or Lithuania, because the engraving style on some 19th century stuff was similar. In this case, they may have used a Star of David because it was easier to draw correctly than a 5-pointed one. What the writing means...not a clue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
