LoL - can't remember Silvo being quite that bad, but if it is, since I have a rotten head cold, now would be a good time . . .
Thanks MrNate - totally agree, I take immense pride in restoring something to it's former glory. And yes, I will update with photos when complete.
Thanks, yes I agree, but still can't find the mark anywhere
Oh dear! I will ditch the dip. We used the tin foil and washing soda method in the 80s on the silverware in hotel I worked at. But that was silver...

Thanks AJ, yes there are initials but I can't make them out. I only knew it was a loon and crown because I'm familiar with that mark. I'll see...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Hi guys, recently bought this huge locket in an auction. It's marked with the moon, crown...
Thanks so much Figtree
Thanks I'll look into that
Thanks Evelyb30 - I'll give it a go.
