    Hi all,
    I bought this little tray yesterday from an antique store in the little town of Williams CA.
    It measures about 5" across and is very thin.
    I'm worried about trying to polish is as there is already some minor damage and some tiny holes from what looks like previous damage and repairs. Hard to see in the pics though. Could someone guess at the age, is it Art Nouveau?

    I think I remember why I don't buy much silver.
    First attempt at polishing.
