<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 51911, member: 37"]Picked up two of these things that are kind of like a chafing dish but with flat tops. The top lifts off and there is an indentation for a can of Sterno to fit. They are about 10" diameter and stand just under 4". Both the top and bottoms are marked the same. It is a cricket with the word DOUBLE over it and the letters HK below. Above this is the number 10 with another tiny mark with a dot under it. The tiny mark may be a Z but might not be a letter at all. Here is a pic of the best of the marks. Sorry, I couldn't get any more clear.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other interesting feature to these is that they have a flat blob of brass or gold on the bottom of each foot. Any ideas about these? I thought the HK might stand for Hong Kong but am not sure. I have no illusion that these are solid silver but it would be incredible if they are. They were at the thrift store so I should be able to make some money even if they are plated. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]13112[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]13113[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]13114[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Someone else inquired about this mark in 2005 but didn't get a response.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6177" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6177" rel="nofollow">http://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6177</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
