Stamped Taxco Mexico Sterling with B mark. 8.25 inches. Approximately 1.99 ozt. Bernice Goodspeed was an American anthropologist and silversmith. Together with her husband, artist Carl Pappe, Goodspeed opened a studio and gallery in Taxco Guerrero, Mexico, where they sold a combination of Carl’s original works and pre-Columbian artifacts.
