[QUOTE="MrNate, post: 941946, member: 5515"]Hi everyone, Nothing too dramatic to post, but I had a decent score I wanted to share today. I think this find also demonstrates that being "detail oriented" can lead to the uncovering of some treasures. Came across these three photos of an item listed as "Antique Silver Bowl" and I should note the seller had about 6 different listings up and I had already identified some were clearly plated: [ATTACH=full]203215[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]203216[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]203217[/ATTACH] Now, the tone is great, and I'm already fairly certain this one's going to likely be real, but I've been fooled before. That's where the quality of the photograph helps out. If you click the third image, and zoom in, you can see marks (at least I can see marks) that don't show up without a trained eye and knowing you can look closer. Because I knew that one was silver, I figured this other listing would be as well from the same seller: [ATTACH=full]203218[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]203219[/ATTACH] Second one is obviously weighted, but I paid $10 total, so worth it to me.[/QUOTE]
