<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cfh, post: 11075763, member: 20095&quot;]I bought this sterling silver umbrella handle this weekend. I thought it was sterling when I saw it, but had no idea what it was. I google imaged it and there it was. Who knew? I never really thought about umbrella handles being a thing. Five dollars later and the handle was mine! I then had to decide what to do with my new nifty handle. For fun I thought about trying to attach it to my favorite, and only umbrella that I bought about 6 years ago at another sale. Honestly, I may have paid more for the umbrella than the handle, but probably not.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]536084[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]536085[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]536086[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways, I pulled out my only and favorite umbrella out of the closet. Here is a picture of it. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]536087[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>But because I now know that umbrella handles are a thing, I decided to look at its handle.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]536088[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]536089[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I’ve been mistreating this umbrella for years! I tried to scratch through the plating, but I believe it’s solid 14k. I’m flabbergasted!</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone recognize the markings on either of the handles? What do you think is the age of the sterling handle?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks as always![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
