[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 1009160, member: 2844"]If the price is right, buy! And this is an order!:happy: Maybe you can get more off if you fuss about the missing stopper. Yes, it is Chinese Export Silver, probably the early years of the 20th century. The silver fineness may not be sterling, Chinese used ca .800- ca .950. This could be towards the lower end, but still genuine Chinese Export Silver. Horn is used for bottles, but I wouldn't expect it in an early 20th c. export bottle. They used it for snuff bottles, cow and buffalo horn, nothing illegal.[/QUOTE]
