<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 9495376, member: 2844&quot;]I think you misread Cheryl&#039;s post. She said exactly the opposite: &quot;symbols as silver marks, whether official or the makers&#039; trademarks, were and are extremely common&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anchor marks are among those common symbols. On silver they are also known in Germany, Sweden, and France, for instance.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since the anchor has been a symbol of Rhode Island since the 17th century, as Cheryl said, there is logic to Rhode Island-based Gorham using an anchor mark.</p><p>And yes, there is a resemblance between the Birmingham and the Gorham silver marks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
