Trying to get information of the earrings I have.

Post by gdm40 »

I have what appears to be an older pair of Mexican sterling earrings shaped like a seashell.
I'm just trying to get a rough date of manufacture on them. Below are photos to the hallmark, I searched several Taxco pages and found nothing, and figured maybe someone here knew about PinFors Taxco which appears in a 3 point badge as shown below. If anyone can give me some insight it would be greatly appreciated.

The mark is Pineda's in a crown, it was used by a brother of Antonio Pineda. The upper left mark is likely TP-17 so they date 1979 to now.

Spot on (it took a 20x magnifier to spot the TP-17) But it's there, Thank you very much in your assistance.
