<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 4314044, member: 360&quot;]Hey folks.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought some antique silver mate straws and they just arrived in the post.</p><p><br /></p><p>I noticed that they have the same mark as another straw which I bought earlier this year, so I assume they were all made in the same country / by the same company.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anybody recognise the mark? I believe it&#039;s supposed to be a stylised sun.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]351556[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The straws are all marked for 800 silver. You can see the &quot;sun&quot; mark beneath.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mate (&quot;Mah-Tay&quot;) is a type of tea consumed in South America (Bolivia, Peru, Argentina, etc), so I assume the straws were made there. You drink the tea through the straw, and the strainer at the bottom stops the tea-leaves from going up the pipe and choking you.</p><p><br /></p><p><u><b>EDIT: NEVER MIND!! I found it! It IS Argentina!! </b></u>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
