Message:: [QUOTE="George Chaney, post: 4295741, member: 19137"]Yes, as previously noted, T&C did have pieces produced in Mexico. Mexico can be "dodgy" so the first question I would want answered is are they sterling. If no, you have your answer. If yes, then the next question would be the T&C question. If it were me, looking at it to purchase, my first thoughts would be, the mark is not right unless I am missing the Co in the metal. The artist did not sign their work. The work is missing the appropriate Mexico marking for sterling pieces I would expect to see - I unfortunately own a lot of Mexico sterling - I love it more than the market does....lol. If they are from the 60's they should have an eagle stamp and frankly, if made for T&C, I go back to the fact I would expect it to have been made by a special artisan and I would expect that the artist would sign the piece with their own mark, as I have seen before on other pieces. While there is a ton of history missing for Mexican sterling, about the most complete book is the little book of Mexican Silver Trade and Hallmarks by Bille Hougart. As of now, I believe they are not genuine pieces. [ATTACH=full]346780[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]346781[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]346782[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
