LAWS OF MARYLAND

[Ch. 49

WITH RESPECT TO AST ITEM OTHER THAN FLATWARE OR A
WATCH CASE, IN ADDITION TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF
SUBSECTIONS (A) AND (B) OF THIS SECTION, THE ACTUAL
FINENESS OF ALL GOLD, GOLD ALLOT, AND SOLDER OR ALLOY OF
INFERIOR FINENESS USED TO BRAZE OR UNITE THE PARTS OF THE
ITEM SHALL BE ASSAYED AS ONE PIECE AND MAY NOT BE LESS
THAN THE FINENESS INDICATED BY THE MARK BY MORE THAN ONE
KARAT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 27, §217.

In subsection (a) of this section, the present
reference to "quality" is deleted, both as
unnecessarily redundant in light of the use of
the tern "fineness," and as inconsistent with
similar usage elsewhere in this subtitle.

In subsection (b) of this section, the tern
"analysis" is deleted as redundant in light of
the reference to "assay or test."

The only other changes are in style and
organization.

14-603. "GOLD PLATE" AND SIMILAR GOLD CONTENT
MERCHANDISE.

A PERSON MAY NOT SELL, MANUFACTURE FOR SALE, OR
POSSESS WITH INTENT TO SELL ANY ITEM OF MERCHANDISE MADE
IN WHOLE OR IN PART OF INFERIOR METAL WHICH HAS DEPOSITED
OR PLATED ON IT OR BRAZED OR OTHERWISE AFFIXED TO IT A
PLATE, PLATING, COVERING, OR SHEET OF GOLD OR GOLD ALLOT,
AND WHICH HAS STAMPED ON IT, ON A TAG ATTACHED TO IT, OR
ON A PACKAGE IN WHICH IT IS CONTAINED, ANY WORD OR MARK
USUALLY EMPLOYED TO INDICATE THE FINENESS OF GOLD, UNLESS
THE WORD OR MARK IS ACCOMPANIED BY OTHER WORDS WHICH
PLAINLY INDICATE THAT THE ITEM OR SOME PART OF IT IS MADE
OF ROLLED GOLD PLATE, GOLD PLATE, OR GOLD ELECTROPLATE OR
IS GOLD FILLED, AS THE CASE MAY BE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 27, §221.

The present checklist of designations, as
"known in the market," is deleted as
superfluous.

The only other changes are in style.
