Sharing this website cuz I think its fun and full of info that taxcophiles need in order to feed their addiction (yes, addiction I said it).

I'm pretty sure I have already mentioned it but here it is again - be sure to visit their homepage - its full of links and info. I'm stingy about my info (have you noticed?) I really dont like to share the details of my acquisitions....Well, this week its the monthly under the freeway antique show and sale...I cant wait - got $ in my pocket that is just burning for some good (I mean good) taxco....
Yeah, its a Spratling - hee hee
I have cufflinks with the crown mark and Plata something (can't read second word) and QUADMEXICO below that is another mark. So what do I have. I am knew at this and want to be correct.
ReplyDeleteI have purchased a pair of earrings with the crown mark and Pineda's on top and Taxco Mexico on the bottom with a TP-11 and 970. I thought this was an obvious attempt to fool buyers into thinking it was Antonio Pineda. What do you think. Who is this?
ReplyDeleteIt is not just us ebayer's who get lost in the maze known as Mexico silver identification. I just heard an antiques roadshow appraiser identify a Mexican silversmith as "so-and-so TAXCO", a known Mexican silversmith!!!. Like Taxco was her last name. Anytime you want to see some good Mexico silver jewelry, check out my ebay store "SouthernCrossTreasures". I would appreciate any comments on my listings.
