Hello, this is my first post on the forum. I obtained an Antonio Piñeda wooden handle serving tray and wooden handle cups. The serving tray has Piñeda’s crown mark and so does one of the cups. But only one cup has his mark. Both cups have an additional mark of Molina with a capitol P and .925 inside a mason-like triangle. As these pieces seem prominent I was hoping someone would be able to help me identify this Molina mark. Also, any guesses as to why the Piñeda crown mark is only on one of the cups? (It is the cup with the single handle that has both marks, the cup with 2 handles only has the Molina mark.

Thank you!

Antonio Taxco (inside a crown). Used in conjunction with other markings since ca, 1953, in this case with Molina (C. Molina). Don’t know what the “P” is about. "Molina" and "C.Molina" apparently refer to the same company. That’s from The Little Book of Mexican Silver Trade and Hallmarks.
