Update: New acid test, confirms opinion only silverplate. Also notived a "brassy" color when looking from bottom into stem. I was wondering why there is engraved numbers on the bottom. I usually see that only on expensive, insured pieces. Thanks again, Cynthia https://i.postimg.cc/Mfb8dFCn...

Excellent, so many thoughtful participants, thanks to all.

Thanks again for your thoughts. I was going to do an acid streak test to see if there's any silver in the metal. The piece does rub on the stone like a softer metal. Unfortunately, my silver acid must be expired, nothing came up even with my known sterling silver testing piece. I've ordered a new ac...

:::: (there are pictures of the U.S.A. 88th infantry division guarding looted Nazi art treasures, which might not be relevant to this object, but it did pop up during my attempts to investigate this object). ::::::::

Oh my!

Thank you for looking into the mystery mark. I have no provenance on the piece, it's just something I picked up in a shop because it looked interesting.

Thank you for the suggestion. For what's it's worth, here's the obscured mark:

Greetings: I'd appreciate your time to look at the mark on what is likely a silverplate chalice/goblet. The legible mark is U.S.A., in addition to a numerical type mark that appears to be "88". Do you know the manufacturer? Thank you for your help, Cynthia https://i.postimg.cc/Y0M6dmyc/202...

Hi: I agree, I also found similar sets referred to as a sugar and butter knife.

Here's the requested close-up:

Greetings I have this 2-pc spoon and knife set by Cooper Bros & Sons in sterling silver. It looks like a mini ice cream set but how is that possible? Knife is 6-1/2" long, spoon 5-1/2" long. Thank you for your help, Cynthia https://i.frg.im/x4GuRaDc/20240307115011-1.jpg?v=1710044275.43...

Trev, thank you so much.

Greetings: I am looking to identify the manufacture and pattern of this antique fish knives and forks set. It is missing a fork that I'd like to locate. Thank you for you kind assistance, Cynthia https://i.frg.im/gQhlkOXG/20240128111444a.jpg?v=1706674672.267?v=1e81c072-5e67-4b69-bb4d-242e52374d2c ht...

Aha, thank you! Did Google a bit and needed to translated since every description was in either Spanish or French. The following description verifies your information (taken from Todocoleccion website): "Description: - Silver plated brass tray with stamp. - The stamp appears on the edge of the ...

Thank you for clarify the term for me. This reading indicated silver when I performed an acid/scratch test. The liquid was red along the scratch mark and it came up red when I blotted the area on a paper towel. https://i.frg.im/kdGzi7Ma/20230717205521a.jpg?v=8ae558bd-176f-47e1-b5a7-0c3d2eaa41d8 http...

Greetings: I can manage most European silver since there's quite a bit of information on the topic. This ladle I'm not quite sure about. I know that plateado is Spanish for silver, but there's also numbers (14 & 92) and a Maltese cross marking. The ladle acid tests as silver. I'd appreciate your...

Wow, truly educational. Thank you AG2012

Thank you so much Aguest. I had to chuckle when I read where it was sold.

Greetings: I've been asked to identify this Danish sterling silver flatware. The inquiring person told me she believes it was purchase at the Georg Jensen shop. I can't find anything that would prove it. I probably could if I were able to read the name of the manufacturer, but that alludes me also. ...

Got it! It's the tray for a nail buffer (part of a vanity set).
