[butterwings]

I have this and a fish charm hallmarked and can't identify it. Could you take a look? Thank you again for your help. Carole.

That looks like the Zia mark of SunWest, a Southwest manufacturer.

WoW you are a wealth of information. These hallmarks are never in the books I have. Waste of money. Thank you again and again, CArole.
