Mexican Sterling Silver Duck Diaper Pins Possibly by Alfredo Ruiz Taxco with Abalone Inlay & Eagle 3 Mark

$34.00
This pair of vintage sterling silver diaper pins, crafted in the shape of stylized ducks, represents the refined artistry of mid-20th century Mexican silversmithing from Taxco. Fashioned in .925 silver and inlaid with iridescent abalone shell, the pins are both decorative and historically resonant. Each pin is stamped Hecho en Mexico, Taxco, A.R. 925, and bears the Eagle 3 assay mark—a hallmark system used in Mexico between the 1940s and 1970s to designate silver content and regional origin. The maker's mark A.R. is most commonly attributed to Alfredo Ruiz, a Taxco artisan known for his whimsical animal-themed designs and skilled use of abalone inlay.
