<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 374550, member: 59&quot;]I was typing the reply you quoted when you posted the Reed and Barton shaker, so none of what I said applied to it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /> (And it is lovely, by the way!)</p><p><br /></p><p>One reason why I think it is important to include pictures of marks is the educational function of this site. Your treasures and our discussions will help improve less-knowledgeable members&#039; understanding of what to look for, how to read and research marks, identify styles and functionality of unusual pieces, etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>And I do understand how hard it can be to get good pictures of silver items and teensy, tiny marks. But if you can get good pics of coins, I&#039;m sure your camera can deal with small marks. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for &quot;not an investment,&quot; I too am only a collector. Have never purchased a piece with the intent to sell. But I sure do enjoy having them as I can tell you do as well! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
