The way the backs are made are saying later to me, but ... they're vintage for sure and for three bucks it's hard to miss. Some dog-crazy person...
Nice job! That's a heckuva score too; Edinburgh silver of any age ain't cheap. If that thing's as old as the others say...eep. That's never...
I like that in a person. :cat::cat::cat:
You might have a winner! Unless Grandpa was broke after paying for a new baby.
If I'd seen that I'd have pounced so fast.... nice! I wouldn't mess with the enamel, especially if it's Neiger; it looks good the way it is....

I think it's just as well you didn't give St Chris away; I think I'm seeing a 375 mark on the back! Darned thing is 9K if I'm seeing it correctly.
