Help please!

Hello,

I need some help with identifying the hallmark (or whatever it is) of this silver cup.
Bought it at a french market and I really want to know!


Thanks!

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

That's a silver platers' mark used by the Societe Vuillermet Aux Trois Orfevres of Villeurbanne.

To understand the '6g' mark, see: http://www.925-1000.com/a_platenumbers.html

Thank you very much for your fast response!

Do you by any chance know how old it may be?

Hi,

Sorry, but I do not know the working dates of this firm, they were certainly in business throughout the 1960's and into the 1970's, but how much earlier and later than that they were working is unknown to me.

Hopefully someone else can add more information.
