<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 249442, member: 2844&quot;]Thanks for that info Susan. I have never seen a &#039;man with hammer&#039; mark, apparently they were in use after the kokoshnik mark, and before the star mark. One &#039;mwh&#039; mark from 1927-54, and another &#039;mwh&#039; mark from 1954-58, when the star mark was introduced.</p><p>If the other mark had the tau district letter, then this mark could also have the tau, like Moscow had the delta. </p><p>The marks are small and not very defined. Maybe the kokoshnik mark is also a &#039;man with hammer&#039; mark. The piece is marked twice, maybe in different periods, even different districts. That would be unusual, but it does happen sometimes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
