We have some very generous good friends, who are also collectors and they know we appreciate a good mystery. When we saw them last they gave a gift of a handsome fish motif silver bookend marked GRIFFO. We don't know GRIFFO, does anyone? IP: Logged |

I tried the internet again this morning... nothing comes up. And the ephemera I was able to look at turned up nothing..... This remains a mystery. I was also hoping my search would reveal the matching bookend. IP: Logged |

Hello Scott. Just a thought re your bookend. It seems to me that the letters are spaced too far apart & they are not in a straight line, perhaps they were struct with individual steel dies. Also, maybe a semi-professional or a very talented amateur participating in an American Crafts Council or similar show. It is a great piece. I like it. Did you friends tell you where they acquired it. Can you ask? Jersey IP: Logged |

They found it at a flea market. I like it also and would love to find another. IP: Logged |
