<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 25424, member: 44&quot;]Sue and Bake, look at what I just found. It seems to be a French maker&#039;s mark with a rooster/cock facing left like this one with &quot;L A&quot; and a star under it. I swear the rooster is the same as this one. Like Sue said in message #6, this i a maker&#039;s mark. The bottom 1/2 of the mark is rubbed off. Nowwww let&#039;s see what the site says about it. It is on the silver lid of a box in an antique man&#039;s toiletry case.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Antique&nbsp; fully fitted NÉCESSAIRE De Voyage by L Aucoc Aine, Paris &quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The maker seems to be L. Aucoc Aine of Paris. Nowwww without&nbsp; the bottom half of this mark, I don&#039;t think we can be 100% sure it is the same maker without seeing the letters?? There may have been more than 1 maker using a rooster in their mark??</p><p><br /></p><p>Scroll down about 1/4th of the way. The picture of the mark is sideways and has has &quot;Aucoc Aine&quot; above it.</p><p><a href="http://www.hygra.com/uk/n11/JB601/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.hygra.com/uk/n11/JB601/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hygra.com/uk/n11/JB601/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Aucoc history:</p><p><a href="http://www.antiquebox.org/aucoc/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.antiquebox.org/aucoc/" rel="nofollow">http://www.antiquebox.org/aucoc/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.925-1000.com/Ffrench_makers_A.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.925-1000.com/Ffrench_makers_A.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.925-1000.com/Ffrench_makers_A.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.langantiques.com/university/index.php/French_Jewelry_Maker%27s_Marks" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.langantiques.com/university/index.php/French_Jewelry_Maker%27s_Marks" rel="nofollow">http://www.langantiques.com/university/index.php/French_Jewelry_Maker's_Marks</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.hygra.com/uk/n11/JB601/images/hygra%20%285%29%20%28Small%29.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
