[QUOTE="terry5732, post: 125342, member: 42"]It cleaned up well. The solder lines disappear when polished. [ATTACH=full]31966[/ATTACH] I wanted to think it early American. I looked through many. Nearly all had the thumb barb on top of the handle and had the bottom of the handle applied such that the tip flared out from the body. Here is the handle. It was likely hammered into a form that was used on other pitchers. [ATTACH=full]31967[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]31968[/ATTACH] I found this Camusso pitcher to be almost a dead ringer in the handle construction. [ATTACH=full]31965[/ATTACH] I had thought all Peruvian silver was well marked. And generally heavier than this is. The solder seams are not real well finished. Certainly somebody working with cruder methods than are employed in the big makers.[/QUOTE]
