Durgin marks by date?
Posted: Fri Apr 13, 2018 6:25 pm
I had a question about the Durgin marks found on this site:
http://www.925-1000.com/americansilver_D2.html
Does anyone know the dates of the various types? I know the bird in the wreath is late 1800s, and the script D I read an estimate from 1888 to the 1930s, but the one with the clover or flower shown on the site - is it before the bird or simultaneous?
I have a few Durgin pieces in our small collection and would like to know more about the various marks.
