Wanda Posts: 1 Registered: Sep 2004	posted 09-22-2004 09:39 PM Hi, everyone. I have another Taxco markings question. the piece is a flower brooch, and the markings on the back include: Giles Taxco, Niguel (could it be Miguel?) 1064 under that name, the eagle shape with a 3, and at the top Rancho Ale__ - last 2 letters are unreadable. Any help would be appreciated until I can get a copy of the book you've talked about! Thanks! Wanda IP: Logged
