Off to Minnesota and places in between for 7 weeks of camping. Will miss all of you, but no antiquing planned.
Faster than me. Thank you.
I thought it meant 800 silver but I am not confident of these assumptions. Thank you. I see that the crescent and crown is the national mark for...
Wow. That's the mark all right. I could see it as soon as @Bakersgma said it. I wonder if it means 800 silver?

It's 15 onions tall? :D

Good to know. I have mostly newer jewelry and you are right, many have the sterling written out.
I would have never guessed, as the Fields spoon looks like it is just out of the box with respect to wear. But I suppose that would be true of...
Excellent observation I didn’t know that. Thank you.
