: THIS IS A TAXCO MEXICO
.925 STERLING SILVER OVERLAY FLOWER PERFUME BOTTLE
-- THIS IS A HIGH QUALITY STERLING SILVER ITEM MADE IN MEXICO
-- IT FEATURES A FLORAL PATTERN AND A SCREW ON/OFF TOP
-- WE BELIEVE THIS MEXICAN STERLING SILVER OVERLAY PERFUME BOTTLE IS FROM THE 1950S-1960S, IT HAS A THICK SILVER OVERLAY WITH FLOWERS AND LEAVES WITH HAND ENGRAVING. IT IS STAMPED HECHO EN MEXICO 925 AND IT HAS A 35 EAGLE MARK
-- IN 1948 THE GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO PROMOTED THE REINTRODUCTION OF THE "EAGLE MARK" TO IDENTIFY THE MANUFACTURERS OF SILVER ITEMS. THE "EAGLE" WAS STAMPED WITH A NUMBER ASSOCIATED TO A SILVER MANUFACTURING COMPANY. THIS SYSTEM WAS UNSUCCESSFUL, EAGLE STAMPS WERE MISUSED OR "LOANED" TO MORE THAN ONE ARTIST OF MAKER AND WAS ABANDONED IN THE 1980S
-- CONDITION: THIS TAXCO STERLING SILVER PERFUME BOTTLE IS A VINTAGE ITEM AND ALTHOUGH THIS ITEM WAS WELL CARED FOR BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER, IT HAS SOME CONDITION ISSUES AS COULD BE EXPECTED IN ITEMS OF THIS AGE INCLUDING TARNISH, SCRATCHES AND SCUFFS AS SHOWN. THERE IS WEAR FROM USAGE AND IT IS SHOWN. PLEASE SEE ALL OF OUR DETAILED PHOTOS, THANK YOU!
