<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 56449, member: 44"]Wellll, Sue, I haven't had any luck in IDing the "K" or "i." I have looked at a good 1/2 dozen webpages with WMF marks as well as pages with their pewter and copper marks. I tried finding a WMF artist, designer, that might use the letter K, nothing. As the "K" is in a square like their "B" for Britannia metal, I thought of a possible base metal. I did see that cutlery made during the 3rd Reich sometimes was "pot metal" as a base metal. In German pot metal was called Kreigsmetall = War metal. "K" might have stood for Kreugsmetall; however, this bowl certainly doesn't look like its base metal is "pot metal." Also I could find no examples of WMC using pot metal.</p><p><br /></p><p>That might not be a lower case i. It might be the number "1" double stamped like the beehive and the I/O???</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
