What does the “La Cucaracha with Taxco and a silver fineness stamp” mark mean?
La Cucaracha was a Taxco silver store active from about 1930 to about 1950, during the first boom of Taxco silver. If your piece carries the La Cucaracha name with Taxco, it was sold through that shop. Early Taxco pieces from the mid 1930s to mid 1940s are often stamped 980, meaning 98 percent pure silver, which is finer than sterling. Later pieces are more often marked sterling or 925. Expect souvenir and modernist jewelry such as brooches, bracelets and earrings.
