Hey Gang, Since TNet is such a wealth of information, I thought I'd add some info I researched in case anyone else finds some similar jewelry. Yesterday I found this sterling silver ring marked TC-127 Mexico 925. After doing some reading, I found out the following:
After 1979, Mexico started stamping their silver jewelry with letters & numbers. The 1st letter "T" means the CITY, and in my case it is Taxco, Mexico. The 2nd letter "C" is the first initial of the last NAME of the Artisan. The number "127" means Mr. or Ms. "C" was the 127th person with the last name "C" to make a submission of their work. And as you already know, the 925 is the purity of the silver.
I also found 2 wheaties; 1919 & 1957D. I generally don't MD Tot Lots, but this one was build in the back yard area where a turn of the century home was located.
