It feels that way to me also, luckily silver is a soft metal...
Absolutely. I might do a “restoration post” because I’ll probably use a liquid silver solution on the worn spots, something I’ve done before with...
Of course!! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I’m not quite sure yet. It appears like nasty crud in the well that the top joint of the candelabra rests in.
Thank you bakersgma, that gives me something to work with for research of value. Price was $30 for two matching large candelabras. Probably has...
hi again everyone. I bought a pair of large candelabras which I’m sure are Silverplate but I was hoping someone can help me find the maker. Here’s...
I’m not sure if I’ll find anything else today, but that’s a pretty good start! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
It took a bit longer than expected, but here's the finished polish: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Not an easy one to see, but when you zoom in you can see M ST, which I took to be the end of the makers name and the start of the word sterling....

This is a long shot, but since terry was having inconclusive results with common tests, could the 920 be an indication of 92% tin since that is...
I trust Cheryl’s expertise far more than my own. And if she says it’s silver, I believe that. If it were in my hands, I’d give it a bendy flex...
Agreed. But in my mind, I'm sitting at home and someone says to me "hey, if you drive 2 1/2 hours and pay me $25, I'll pay you $1,000"...
Great point Bakersgma. I use to own a V8 truck. I'm happy to say that my little nissan versa "sips" gasoline at an average of 40 mpg. So my round...
Good (late) evening everyone, I hope you are having a good night, I certainly am and I wanted to share two stories with you. Well, technically...
I finally got it in the mail, I believe it's the 800 fineness mark. It has the initials VN next to it. I'll try to get a good photo tomorrow, just...
It's a "made in occupied japan" item, obviously plated but I didn't do any research. To be completely honest, it was probably going into the...
Thank you Kiko, it's of course my pleasure to share the story along with the finds. It was a battle to put this little pile together, but I...
