Re: Help Identifying Crest 2

I appreciate the info. Regretfully, there are no other markings that would pinpoint the family.

Garnishment Identification/Comparison

I have been trying to find out who manufactured this silverplate garnishment. The other day I came across this other item that has some similarities to mine. The base, the swans (though not as detailed), and the number 2. This may be a stretch, but what do you think about them being made by the same ...

Re: Removing tarnish without removing detail

Sorry about the delay in my responses. Silver black is a chemical used to quickly oxidize silver. It over does it if you ask me. I ended up bringing it to a company in Philly that does plating/restorations. They polished it up for me. I may just leave it in its current state. It looks nice, it would ...

Legit Gorham Marking?

I'm a complete newb here with this. I'm eyeing up a sterling tea set by Gorham (1929) but I am not seeing any anchor or lion markings like I see in most of the marking pictures I see. Is the marking legit? It is one the bottom of one of the tea service pieces.

Patina or Coloring?

I'm currently collecting the Tuttle Silver Co., Onslow pattern sterling silverware. I've noticed on a few of the utensils, the scrolling has black in the groves, where some do not. Fresh out of the original factory plastic, they are black in the grooves. Is this a patina, or a color they add for ...
