I received a religious medal that is stapmed on the back with "sterling" on the first line and"theda" on the second line. These are clear, plain letters, so no mistaking that. I am sure that Theda is not the name of a company simply because of the way it looks. I have asked numerous people, searched the web and dictionaries but can not come up with any info about THEDA. There may also be another mark on the back along with the religious marks. This would appear to be two eyes with three lashes each and on the right side a capital X lying on it's side, each end has a small knob on it. Sounds like anything anyone knows? The front of the medal has Mary with outstretched hands, a devotyional verse, silver on a mother of pearl square base, all placed on the macrasite medal. Any help out there???

Thanks for the info. I have tried to search for the company on the web, but can't come up with anything. Have any ideas to try? Do you have any more info? Is it still producing?
