[QUOTE="Curioser, post: 4362380, member: 13823"]They were nearly black when I got them, not sure it was entirely intentional but I couldn't see the mark without a little cleaning. It appears to be "AR" in an oval. "925" is stamped beneath. Each is 2 1/4" high. The fronts are not very smooth but the sides and back are definitely textured, kind of "orange peel" if you know what I mean. Does this surface suggest a method of manufacture? Cast? Is there a better name for it than orange peel? The lever back wires are not marked but test sterling. With no country hallmarks, is it safe to assume US? Having a bad brain week here so go easy on any silly comments I've made. I appreciate any info/insights you offer!
