@Jeanny Must ask as it may help identify your finds: Where in the wide world of antiques do you reside? Country is good enough, but do tell? Your...
@Daniel G Thanks, that wasn't clear to me in your initial post. It just seemed like such a huge lot of "silver" so couldn't tell. Hope all...
The mark doesn't say much unless someone has info on what the little figure below the number represents, perhaps a foundry stamp. The number...
@Daniel G Forgive my asking but did you actually bring SILVER PLATE flatware to melt? I know a refiner who sold me good usable silver plate...
I'm in No/Ctrl Florida, USA, in a rural area but with small lively towns spread out in it. NOT a tourist area whatsoever although there are a few...

Attn: @journeymagazine take heart! See Chinese carved chairs. The last link may be showing YOUR chair, in a pair:...
???? What is REPORTED (with multiple excls), pray tell, @gregsglass ? This newbie didn't understand your comment?
