<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 1113766, member: 2844&quot;]Welcome Jim.</p><p>Beautiful box, and a classic Wing On &amp; Co design. Could we see the inside of the box? Do you know anything of its history before it came to you?</p><p>Wing On was a Hongkong maker/retailer, manufacturing in the first half of the 20th century. Maybe he also had a workshop or business in Shanghai, as blooey said, I can&#039;t check that now.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chinese Export Silver can be anything between .800 and .999. Sterling is .925. Without a clear mark and testing it is impossible to say if this is exactly .925, or one of the higher or lower finenesses.</p><p>I must say, to most collectors the name, period and style are more important than the exact silver content.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=4494]@Asian Fever[/USER] , I hope you are around, I am sure you can tell us more.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/img_2053-jpg.211163/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/img_2052-jpg.211162/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
