Re: Egyptian Pendant - Is it gold?

Thank you, Do you recognize the initials? Think it is JP or JS script in a hexagon?

Egyptian Pendant - Is it gold?

I think I posted in the wrong place a few minutes ago so I am posting here to cover my bases. I purchased this pin as 800 silver but it looks like gold to me. Can anyone tell by the marks if it is gold and/or who made it? I would really appreciate any information you can give me. Thanks Donna http:/...

C & B Coin Spoons

This is my first attempt to use the forum so please bear with me. I have a dozen spoons marked C & B Coin. I have seen some marked Canfield & Brother and I am wondering if this is the same maker and about when they would have been manufactured. Here (I hope) are a couple of pictures. http://...
