[QUOTE="cxgirl, post: 10449327, member: 63"]Hi All, picked these items up at an estate sale yesterday - the nut/mint dishes and small spoons are Birks sterling (1962), the other 2 spoons are Roden Bros and probably sold through Birks. The other little dish I need help with, it has an 1878 US silver dollar in the middle, and just marked sterling on the rim. I'm assuming it is a real silver dollar, but since I don't know squat about them, I believe posting here will give me the answer:) With no maker mark on the dish, is it possible to ID the maker? Would pieces like this be made for a special occasion? Any idea on date it would have been made? any information appreciated thanks for looking:) [ATTACH=full]525624[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]525625[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]525626[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]525627[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]525628[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]525629[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]525630[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]525631[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]525632[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]525633[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
