    Hi all, I picked this piece from a yard sale for a few bucks because i just couldn't figure out the stamp on the side. there is also what i thought was marks on the underside of one of the scallops. So faded i could never tell for sure. thought maybe someone might know.I did start to polish it. Any help would be appreciated as always.

    I don't know what it is made of. Shiny pewter?
    Is there a hotel named Georges?

    The inside is well worn. It looks like silver plated that has had a hard life.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    There are probably several. Here's a link to a Georges Inn in Lexington, Virginia:

    There is also a Georges Hotel Galata in Istanbul, Turkey.

    "Galata" There is a Galata bridge in Istanbul where the people is falling up and doon. That is what our tourist brochure said, so it must be correct.
