What does the “Interlaced UB monogram with STERLING and 925 FINE” mark mean?
Unger Bros. of Newark, New Jersey, stamped its silver with an interlaced UB monogram, usually followed by STERLING and 925 FINE. You will find it on Art Nouveau buckles, hatpins, dresser sets, flasks, boxes, match safes and spoons with cupid or flower terminals. The brothers began making silver in 1878, their busiest years ran from about 1895 to 1907, and the firm stopped making silver goods in 1914. Unger produced many designs by die-stamping, so the same design often turns up more than once.
