That's what the lady who sold it to me, said, but I just couldn't see it, so that's why I posted it here. I don't see '925' ANYWHERE. I see A...
[ATTACH] How's that?
Smart and intelligent peoples, I need your help! I picked this up at the local flea-market. It was simply labeled "Silver" and the lady said it...
According to current conversion-rates, I paid 39.50GBP for my piece.
Ooooooh!! Thanks CC. That was extremely interesting reading! I found several links SELLING these, but I could find no information explaining...
Won this today at the local auction house. [IMG] Hallmarks for CJ Vanders. Sheffield. Sterling. 1997. Was listed as an 'ash tray'. A friend...
That was what drew me to it. Most cruet/condiment sets I see are very complicated and over-decorated. This one had simple clean lines, minimal...
Well, shows what I know...

Please tell me what I have here? I bought these from a lady who said they were 950 Japanese silver. I have bought SOME Japanese silver before,...
I must be a freak. I love polishing silver AND brass :P
I have, from my local thrift shop, purchased... A number of sterling silver napkin-rings (about four in total, I think). Sold them all online....
I'm old-fashioned, I use silver-foam, but a lot of people swear by that aluminium thing with the hot water and the baking-soda or whatever it is....
Yeah. Don't break it. With somethin' that large, you're liable to get seven decades' bad luck! That said, I think the frame is probably spelter...
