    Trying to determine the age and value of this antique pick I found in my great grandma's display cabinet. It has a "900" stamped on the back along with a unique symbol. Anyone ever see this before? 20191017_175630.jpg 20191017_175721.jpg 20191017_175630.jpg

    It's South American, the finial a coffee bean, most likely Brazilian or perhaps Colombian - probably mid 20th century rather than antique...

    The symbol on the back is a partially struck anchor.

    Company seems no longer in existence, but the mark appears to belong to Pratâncora Indústrias in Brasileira, Brazil (prata=silver, âncora=anchor)...

    Would be a single from a set of 6 or 12 cocktail/hors d'oeuvre picks - may have been all coffee beans, or a harlequin set with different South American theme finials...
