<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 401240, member: 111&quot;]That&#039;s an older design, the pattern dating to 1889, the candlesticks produced between 1891 and 1902 - unlike the previously discussed marks, these were struck on a relatively smooth area, without depressions from the design, will say that the &#039;Tiffany&#039; is chattered and the &#039;S&#039; on &#039;STERLING&#039; is very messy, almost looks like it was struck over something, but don&#039;t see any problem with these marks either...</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are going to spend that kind of money on silver, might consider investing in some educational references - if Tiffany is a particular interest, Carpenter&#039;s &#039;Tiffany Silver&#039; (1978) is the best general reference, and for flatware, Dr. Hood&#039;s &#039;Tiffany Silver Flatware 1845-1905&#039; (1999) is a great book.&nbsp; The Loring books are all quite lovely and most are also informational, but are more coffee table books.</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
