I think the mano is the hand made portion of it and the AC is the mark of the maker. I the first link looks similar though in style.
Check this out... Probably at least 200 years old based on the amount of garbage that was in the dumpster around it.

It's a silver dish from Peru. Makers mark might be local but there have been American silversmiths like Truman Bailey who've marked Peruvian silverware.

Seems you are getting the same feedback from other sites as well.  :)

I'm just not convinced it is Peru.  Plata (silver) or Plata Fina (fine silver) is often found on items with Hecho Mano (hand made).

yep....I had a Brain hiccup!  :)  It does say Trabaho. 

Typed "Plata (silver) or Plata Fina (fine silver) is often found on items with Hecho Mano (hand made)." and meant to type - Plata (silver) or Plata Fina (fine silver) is often found on items with trabajo hecho mano.
