<p>[QUOTE="mmarco102, post: 10255450, member: 8289"]Just picked these up. No marking so I’m a little lost. My photos are not accurately showing the reflexive shine but thinking there is a 9% chance they are silver. Magnet will not stick to either of them. In either case I practically stole them as I would have paid the same for the wood stand. Can’t consider them fine silversmith workmanship which leads me to plated but still they have a great look for displaying. I know it is difficult to determine via online photos so calling all but definitely [USER=5515]@MrNate[/USER] for your thoughts. Aside from material might this have been a late 20th century gift or do you think it might have some age? *crosses fingers*</p><p><br /></p><p>The smaller box(Butterfly) 3.75 inch L X 2.9 inch H</p><p>The happiness gold fish(koi fish) 4 inch L X 2.5 inch H</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for looking</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]513727[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]513729[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]513730[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]513731[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]513732[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]513733[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]513734[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]513735[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]513736[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]513737[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
