Question on Vendome Screwback Clip Earrings~any and all help is greatly appreciated

I purchased these earrings today and need to know if Vendome was ever spelled without the "e" on the end?  Don't know if these , well I do know they are older, but it looks like there would have been room for the e    Thanks,  Carolyn

Mornin Carolyn. I think these are legit..even to the type of clip.

 

My thinking is (and it`s only a guess) that as these look to be some of the later years production..it`s just a mis-strike.

 

Seems to me like I can see the decline in 'pride in workmanship' as  jewelry companies (among others) moved into the 60`s & 70`s compared with earlier pieces.   In other words, it`s almost like the factory managers saying. "So what if it`s missing the 'E' or if there`s a glob of solder..produce it anyway. "   That`s my take on it anyway Cat Happy

The only way I have ever seen their hallmark is Vendome, with the "e" at the end. Vendome was a high-quality line that succeded Corocraft and was in business from 1944 to 1979. If you do decide to list these make sure you list them exactly as spelled on the back.
