I hope this is the right area for this. I have a nickels to dimes trick that has a hallmark that is unknown to me. It is the shape of a Jewish Star of David, and inside a capital "F". Does anyone recognize that hallmark. Can anyone point me in the direction of someone that might know. Thank you in advance.

Franco maybe.

They were a novelty company, selling jokes, simple magic, science kits ... a lot like Adams.

Franco American, I do know the company, and have had their 3 to 1 brass nickels to dimes set. I have never seen one hallmarked, and the Star of David seems pertinent somehow. The only other brass maker that I am aware of, that might hallmark (though I have seen his before) is Paul Fox. His is a PF however, so the mystery continues. Thank you so much for the help Al.
