[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 10788807, member: 111"]Heh, pretty much unreadable. There were different 'M/m' marks, if yours has the same serifed capital 'M' as on the piece I posted, then it would have been produced 1879-91, that 'M' for Edward C. Moore, Tiffany director from 1873-91. Are you sure they both bear the same marks? In 1879, this design was issued a series of 4 digit pattern numbers beginning with '54', each different style piece should end with their own numbers, the other number is an order code. The handle is ivory, not that you'd be selling, they're definitely antique, but wading through the different states' regulations is a pain, though there are only a few states that completely ban the sale of elephant ivory. Here's a bit from Carpenter's 'Tiffany Silver' (1978): [ATTACH=full]534514[/ATTACH] ~Cheryl[/QUOTE]
