I have moved my blog to my own website - www.vintagebaublesnbits.biz/blog<br /><br />As for your question, no the marks are pretty much interchangeable. It just depended on the manufacturer, how much room was on the piece and where they were stamping. The marks were used for less than a 40 year time frame, with the majority of the pieces being 1950s-1960s.

If you're asking if there's an...Hi there! <br /><br />If you're asking if there's anyway to track a stamped piece of Western Germany, then no. Unfortunately it's pretty rare to even be able to track it back to one specific manufacturer. Most of the pieces were developed right after WWII and the infrastructure of W. Germany was just getting going again. You'll see a gap in a lot of records from this time period and to be honest, they were more concerned with just getting factories up and working and people employed, than they were about keeping track of inventory or coding anything. <br /><br />There are some stamped pieces you can track - especially if they have patent numbers or serial numbers. But you see this more in high-end jewelry and within a few brands of jewelry that kept very meticulous records. <br /><br />Hope this helps some!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12259930362620882172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730880357712886227.post-16137949503093380352015-03-10T20:18:04.388-05:002015-03-10T20:18:04.388-05:00Is there any way to track a stamped piece?
