Age and Maker of French Beaker or Wine Cup
Good Afternoon, I recently acquired this wine cup (or at least that is what I think it is) with the words 'dela Relle' (can anyone translate?) engraved on it along with garlands of fruit. It is marked under the lip of the cup with the Minerva head for 950 silver, and on the base has a triangular sta...

B.E. Shaw Coin Silver Spoons
Good Day! I have found these two coin silver spoons but have had no luck tracking down the information of B.E. Shaw, the maker. They are nice lightweight spoons with a monogram on the reverse. Thank you for any help you can provide. Sincerely, Roberta http://photos.imageevent.com/peachfamily/sterlin...

Candy Dish Maker
Hi all: I have this lovely sterling candy or bonbon dish and was wondering who the maker was. I think I have seen the hallmark before but have had no luck on the various websites tracking it down. It is a swan with what looks like two A's overhead. Thank you Roberta http://photos.imageevent.com/peac...

Re: Dent Removal
Forgot to mention that I purchased it in some second hand dumpy store in British Columbia in the fall. Not qhat I expected to see silver, but it sure was a nice surprise. It stands 4 1/2" (11 cm) and weighs about 95 grams. I think it is a vase as there was no lid; perhaps a sugar bowl? But no g...

Can I do it myself or should I take it to a pro? I think it is a vase, it was made in Birmingham circa 1908 by...

Re: My Fake German WWII 2 Ounce Bar, What SHould I Do with i
Was this bought off an online auction site or through and online ad? Do the sellers have more of the same? You may have some recourse through the selling venue or if you paid by paypal or credit card. If you paid by cash, there will be almost no way to get your money back. You would have to prove fr...

Geo. A. Harmon Ladle
Hi all: I have had this for about a year but have not had any luck with history or age. Cannot find Geo. A. Harmon listed anywhere. Anyone familiar with the maker? I assume it is an early American piece. Thank you Roberta in Alberta http://photos.imageevent.com/peachfamily/sterlingsilverforsale/webs...
