Silver or Silverplate? Originally a spoon?

<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 616729, member: 8363"]I bought this to learn about silver and silver plate. Don't laugh at it, please. I think it was originally a serving spoon that was repurposed as a candle holder. It was happy for me to shine it with a sunshine cloth. I bought a magnet on the way home and it is not magnetic, but from what I gather that is not a definitive test. The salient information I have gleaned is that it says "patent 1955" on it. There are marks after that I can't understand CD1?. The spoon is monogramed "Laura." By the way, while trying to research this I ran across a 2002 comment on a Silver site by [USER=111]@DragonflyWink[/USER]. I was trying to find out if silver plate silverware is commonly monogrammed. Is all silver silverware individually stamped with a silver mark? I suspect the patent 1955 was about some plating process, but that is just a guess. If you have a minute can you help? </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]180659[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]180660[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]180661[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]180662[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]180663[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
