<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Poisonivy, post: 293767, member: 2417&quot;]I just bought a little Victorian thimble holder holder in the shape of a bucket, It was really cheap and the dealer said it was just base metal but I liked it anyway.</p><p>On getting it home I cleaned it up and suspected it was silver, I did the bleach test and it tarnished a darkish grey so I thought maybe it&#039;s a low grade silver.</p><p>However I just conducted an experiment, I got out my scrap silver and tested 2 pieces of good quality silver (hallmarked) and another piece I know to be silver and they all turned the same shade of grey so I think it&#039;s safe to say my thimble holder IS silver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
