Do you know ACC STERLING mark ? Like Reed & Barton Franc

Post by anaf »

I own a complete flatware set hallmarked ACC STERLING 925 (with a crown + a spoon + a fork inside). The pattern is the very same as Francis I by Reed & Barton, but the hallmark is not registred in 925-1000.com . The weight of a fork is very heavy (over 100gram / 3.2oz. each). The stainless steel blades of the knives bear the same crown mark + inox and FixPat.
I would be gratefull to anyone able to give me an information about the manufacturer and the age of this flatware.

Many Thank's
Ana

Hi Ana,
Although the marks are rendered in the American fashion, I suspect these may have been made elsewhere. Will keep it in this category and see if anyone knows it.

Inox is a danish steel producer.
The rest of the hallmarks however are not Danish.

Hosedk,
I thought "inox" was just the generic European term for stainless steel and not specific to any particular company.

Hello, 'inox' is used in several European countries (France, Belgium, Sweden and others) and is not a makers mark. Best wishes, Bahner

To be precise, inox is a French term for stainless steel, short for inoxydable.

OK thank you - i did not know that. I just found a steel producer with that name so I thought that he was the supplyer.
So I also learned something today.

I have a serving spoon of the same design and hallmarks in addition 1 AL Italian hallmark for Cesa. I believe the pattern name is Quirinale.
