<p>[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 10330632, member: 88"]I got involved in a little sterling silver clean up the past few days. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /> I had received a couple of new sterling cap bottles last week & I am trying to be better about documenting things as soon as I get them. I looked in my one little cabinet & was astonished as to how many I now had in my collection. I will post some group photos later in the Finds thread. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]519561[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]519562[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This one has been with me since 2012 & I never noticed the marks on the one end.
