Similarly, I sold a set of family hand-me-down china in a garage sale
years and years ago when I could finally afford to replace it. A few
years later, an "orphan" piece turned up that had somehow gotten
separated from the rest of the hand-me-down set, and I idly glanced at
the hallmark: "Made In Occupied West Berlin." I'd never noticed the
hallmark before - my mother must have bought it when she and the dear
aulde dad were in Germany when he was flying in the Berlin airlift.
What a unique set of china - for which I probably got maybe $20.
