[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 4366550, member: 22"]I did a very quick 2 hour clearance this morning. All the items in the property had been searched through, everything was organized for taking away, rubbish was placed in sacks ready for disposal, nothing of great value to remove and no antiques. My waste man was about to throw a sack into the truck when something caught my eye. "Silver plate" he said. "No silver" I said It sure looked like silver plate with that typical tarnish with fingerprints in it but I saw a mark. [ATTACH=full]364563[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]364564[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]364566[/ATTACH] Well I got paid for the job, dumped all the rubbish and returned home. Half an hour of polishing and this is the result. John Round , Sheffield, Sterling Silver. 1908, if I'm not mistaken. 95grams.
