[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 439852, member: 2844"]Both the design and the mark date from the first half of the 20th century. The design is Spratling inspired, but the bracelet is not Spratling made. There is also a bit of Art Deco influence. There are collectors for early Mexican jewellery. I like those early designs as well, but I always stay on the lower end of the scale with my spending. Sloppy marking is seen on many Mexican pieces, even from some of the better known names. There simply wasn't enough room for the entire punch.;) It is always good to test silver, but there is nothing sus about the mark. In fact it is a mark that would catch my attention, simply because of the age and the fact that most people look for the later eagle marks. That is ok, let them, I will take the old collectible 'junk' for a nice price.:D[/QUOTE]
