I have a vintage table fork with 'Palace Silver' stamped into the handle. It doesn't seem to be plated metal, so I assume it is made of some...
Thanks. I appreciate the warning. They were used once because they were a Christmas present.
No marks.
I'm not fastidious. Have used them to eat trifle.
These types of decorated pewter spoons are common on eBay. They are evidently Dutch. The casting is crude on the two that I have. Were they made...

I'm OK thanks. Live on a ridge. Others have had their jewellery melted in the fires, and/or then washed away in floods.
Go on, try me. I promise I won't laugh! :)
Thanks Shelley, but I live in Oatley - a southern suburb of Sydney, Australia. We have a local jeweller and I shall be paying them a visit.
I never thought the bracelet was pure gold. But the density test, if done in a lab, is accurate....
