    Hi all.
    I picked this up at G/W with a price tag of $2.99 USD.
    Frame size is 9" x 11 1/2"
    I could see the marks barely because I had forgot my loupe, but for that price I couldn't go wrong. I hope.

    I would love to help, Mikey, but I cannot make heads or tails out of the mark next to the 800. Can you get a better picture of that?

    If I had to guess, I'd think that was post-World War II. 1950ish. Based on the wood color/construction and the bright blue liner.

    I don’t see the toucan but an Austrian 800 hallmark was the first thing that came to mind when I saw your mark.

    Great find! I always think frames would be the most likely place go find silver at thrift stores but I’ve yet to uncover any.

    Doesn't look American to my eye.

    A little tarnish removal and some other closeups. I hope.

    The eBay example, with the salmon-colored moire liner is going to be a bit earlier. 1940ish, I'd think.

    If going by the link that @DragonflyWink posted, it looks more like the 1934-1944 marks?
