[QUOTE="Marote, post: 9850135, member: 84568"]The shiny version of the cups [ATTACH=full]493200[/ATTACH] And one of the Christofles has a gold-coloured bit [ATTACH=full]493201[/ATTACH] any thoughts on that? If I'm not mistaken, the Christofle mark with CC is the one they used from 1844 to 1935. What do the other numbers mean? On this site: [URL]https://sarasotaantiquebuyers.com/christofle-silver-plate-marks/[/URL] they say "A number referring to the piece number in the production line" "A number representing the silver content, with each digit in a separate box" And show this example: [ATTACH=full]493202[/ATTACH] But one of my Christofles has just 1 boxed number, and the other one does have digits in two separate boxes, but they are on separate lines. Here [URL]https://www.silvercollection.it/ASCASCHRISTOFLEMARKS.html[/URL] they say "In the same year (1860) another more serious change in marking the production year took place. Now instead of a lozenge-shaped box, a rectangular box was used" Would that date the one with just the 6 to 1906? And how about the other, that has an 8 and a 67? 1908 with 67% silver content?[/QUOTE]
