Hello

The vast majority of the 57 new form don't carry any maker marks. This looks, from the photos, to be a nice new form KVK, and appears to have burnished edges and numerals and possibly some frosting. I'd suggest that this is one of the earlier ones, perhaps early 1960's. Two questions though, can you confirm that the edges and numbers are in fact burnished (polished to a bright finish)as the photos suggest and is the hinge block solid or open?

Regards
David

Hi, I can confirm that the numbers and edges are polished/burnished and that the hinge is an open type,

Hello

On the basis of the open style hinge I'd revise my approximated date for it to around the mid 1960's. This KVK still has a quality about it, and the fact that the edges and numbers are burnished points to it being made in a period when they still took some care over the manufacture of these.

A very nice, good quality piece

David
