[QUOTE="JTR, post: 2327603, member: 2254"]Hello, I recently purchased this mug from a local thrift store because I figured it to be Sterling. Unfortunately the mug does not contain hallmarks so I reluctantly decided to acid test it and it is infact sterling. It has very clear usage dents where your thumb would rest when gripped the handle. It surprisingly seems very well used. I do not know much about makers or historical silversmithing practices so I am hoping someone with more knowledge than I can help me out! I love to hear anything you have to say and if you would like specific photos of the mug, I'll provide them asap. Thank You for your time! Specs Height 4.75 inches Width at base 3.5 inches Weight - 367 grams[/QUOTE]
