<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gimbler-dave, post: 366507, member: 313&quot;]It may speak for itself if you have seen it - my challenge is to give it a chance to speak. When I list it, if I only have the generic information, I&#039;ll have some population of viewers.&nbsp; But there may be a particular maker of special interest that certain buyers are searching for. Without pursuing this research to some extent, it is quite likely that the buyers you want to see it won&#039;t know about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m also trying to make sure that it is in fact plate.&nbsp; I don&#039;t believe it is sterling, but still feel it is odd that there is not a clear EP or other positive plate mark.&nbsp; By the late 19th century, that was pretty standard.&nbsp; And the quality of the piece belies the idea of a non-significant maker.&nbsp; There are still some puzzles here, and it helps to maximize possible sale value to know the answers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
