Found a sailboat on the beach. it is stamped sterling and the jewelry marked Lang. it`s some type of brooch or pin.my big question is when did they stop stamping sterling and start stamping .925?
 
Very nice find and I don't think they ever stopped marking "sterling". I think either "sterling" or .925 can be used interchangeably since they mean the same thing.
 
Love the sail boat brooch Tom. Congrats. :thumbup:

I believe 1906 is when they started stamping "sterling" and .925 on any precious silver. Same with stamping KT purity on gold too. Don't quote me though. HH, Nancy
