<p>[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 9548741, member: 111"]Might suggest having it XRF tested - personally, can't recall seeing the 'KE' for gold electroplate on pieces this old, and don't believe I've seen it in advertising of the period either. Suspect it may have been produced by large Newark manufacturer W.C. Edge Jewelry Co., they were known for 14 karat jewelry and used an 'E' mark - despite the dates noted on the Lang page, the firm dated back to the 1880s, in business at least into the mid 20th century:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.langantiques.com/university/mark/edge-jewelry-co-w-c/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.langantiques.com/university/mark/edge-jewelry-co-w-c/" rel="nofollow">https://www.langantiques.com/university/mark/edge-jewelry-co-w-c/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
