<p>[QUOTE=&quot;popsycat, post: 2416745, member: 1904&quot;]I can only go by the terminology I first heard old dealers using 50 years ago. If they asked for &quot;plate&quot; they wanted solid silver. This was an expression I heard in my shop, before I retired, by an old dealer. He came into my shop and asked if I had any plate. To which I replied &quot;sorry, I only have silver plated items&quot; I suspect he was being a bit of a snob and trying to catch me out. As a result,&nbsp; I only use the term silver plated. I remember when &quot;victoriana&quot; was looked down on and sometimes sneered at, and only pre victorian items were classed as &quot;antique&quot; Unfortunately, in those days, we did not have much money so could never buy what we drooled over.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
