I kind of thought that as well. But in my little bit of research, it seems like that 212
is somehow associated with some silver.

Have you identified the first mark? Maybe that will give you info on the 212.

I believe that is a Simons jeweler's mark.

Thanks for all that info. But, that's where I got the info on the Simons mark. I'm just trying to see if anyone might recognize the use of "212".

wups! Because we had a pretty good ID on the piece I didn't think to post the whole thing.



The consensus was that this used to be some sort of a brush due to the piece with the holes. It was inside the back of the piece.

I was just a bit confused about the "212" and when I tried to research the number seemed
to keep showing up but I just haven't figured what, (if anything), it means.

Thanks!

I think it's the style or pattern number? Many silver company's put numbers like that on their products. Yes I agree it's the top of a brush and was part of a vanity set, which would maybe have a hand mirror, finger nail buffer and other items with all the same pattern on them. I believe the same number would maybe be on all the pieces of the set, so if you lost one it be easier to run down a replacement with the maker and that number.??

Did you weigh that piece? It's definitely worth it weight in silver.

Pattern number is what I was figuring as well. I'll have to do some more checking.

It weighed in at just over 25 grams.

Thanks for your help!
