<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MrNate, post: 2145097, member: 5515&quot;]Great guesses for those that played. Here&#039;s photos of the correct one. Some considerations:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. There&#039;s something about the &quot;good stuff&quot; that jumps off the page when you look closely. For me it&#039;s the tone and the &quot;wobbly&quot; looking shape of the metal that looks so different with something that&#039;s potentially sterling.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Remember i&#039;m finding this stuff in a sea of fake things. It&#039;s pretty easy when I isolate one picture where you know there&#039;s something real. The true skill is finding the one item out of 100&#039;s of duds, and being committed to pull the trigger on the purchase (I never asked for photos of this one, and got it shipped to me for $12 <u>total cost</u>).</p><p><br /></p><p>3. There&#039;s a few other good clues in the shape/design/simplicity of the piece contrasted with the copper looking oval piece and the round tray which has silver plate indications. For me the biggest clues on this one other than the items mentioned above is the uneven tarnish (a great thing), the soft glow of real silver (it really looks soft to me) and the shape of the design which was made to add rigidity to a soft metal. I hope you enjoy the polish job.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. If you want to try round two, there&#039;s a photo at the bottom. For those interested in playing, rank the items from most likely to be real, to least likely to be real silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]251945[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]251946[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]251948[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]251949[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]251950[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b><u>ROUND 2:</u></b></p><p><b><u><br /></u></b></p><p><b><u>[ATTACH=full]251951[/ATTACH] </u></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
