Hello, I have an antique that I was given by my grandmother and it was given to her from her great grandmother which leaves me to believe it has been in the family for some time. I don't know anything about it because I was given it when my grandmother almost passed away and she personally gave this to me. Would really appreciate if someone could translate this for me. If I know what it says or means that can help me research it so I can learn the history of this item my grandmother wanted me to have. Can take additional pictures if needed.

Your item is a "hair pin". And made by Quang Foo.


Mary

Thank you very much for the reply. Do you know who this person, Quang Foo was? Is there a way to make any estimate at a time period this item was created?

Really appreciate the reply : )

it would cost an arm & leg, For the time! Also, it would be better if you find info yourself.

I have doubts with the translation, first of all, the two marks were obstructed by the horizontal pin and I do not know how any one could translate it so easily and so rapidly. Secondly, most of the marks found on pieces like this would usually be the purity/metal mark of the material or name of its manufacturer,, seldom that of the artist. Thirdly, you asked Mary a question and a Nancy responded. Very curious.
