<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 255934, member: 33&quot;]If you mean the Hallmark greeting card company, they did not make this. They did not start using that word on their greeting cards until 1928, according to a historical essay on the company website. However, I did learn something interesting. According to the company website &quot;J.C. Hall also was an innovator in marketing his cards. He was intrigued by the word &quot;hallmark&quot; used by goldsmiths as a mark of quality. Mr. Hall liked that it not only said quality, but also included his family name.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, while I think your cameo is old I think it is more likely from the early 20th century than the late 19th...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
