[QUOTE="Asian Fever, post: 1117809, member: 4494"]It is a Chinese export silver trinket box. Made in China by Wing On, bearing the retailer mark (永) indicates Wing On (永安). [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_On[/URL] Chinese export silverware are always thought to be 90 standard even they are higher(925 or even 950) standard unless they are stamped with relative fineness mark. I have several chinese silver tea pot and bowls which are tested to be higher than 950+ standard, however, they are still listed to sell as 900 export silver even they are higher standard.[/QUOTE]
