Identifying Vintage Taxco Silver: Maker Mark Assistance
Question
Taxco (vintage?) grape
Howdy.
Any idea of the maker's name from the hallmark attached?
Thanks.

AnswerHello Dan and thank you for your inquiry. Based on what I can tell about the mark visually, I haven't been able to find anything yet. I can suggest a book that might help you - "The Little Book of Mexican Silver Trade and Hallmarks" by Bille Hougart. You might be able to find it in your local library or bookstore and with the hallmark in front of you, find something similar. There is also a site that might be helpful. Just copy and paste the below url into your browser address field and hit enter:

I have several other places to check and will let you know if I find anything similar. In the meantime, good luck !
