Hello Waylander,

Thank you for the information.. This is a solid lead for me to follow-up on...

I bought this from a local swapmeet today, for $1.. I tried searching the hallmark, M & Co 5581 and haven't found anything. I checked the M marks library but I didn't find anything yet. Looking at the symbols, looks like an S, not sure of the second one, and a P... I am pretty sure this is silve...

My dad found this in a box of stuff... I am curious as to the hallmark; a crown with the letter P inside it. It "smells" like silver.. Any ideas as to how old this might be? Thanks....

I have close to 100 pieces of silver and silver-plate flatware. I have read a number of pros and cons about cleaning and polishing. My gut tells me to gently clean with a polishing cloth and that's it. These pieces are anywhere from 50 years to 100+ years old and honestly feel that "polishing&q...

Sorry. Here is a picture of the tongs themselves.

I recently purchased these sugar tongs, and was curious to know how old they might be? Can this be deciphered by the characters in the hallmark stamp? I believe the last stamp is an R and a D. Any information that anyone can provide, would be greatly appreciated. Lori https://www.925-1000.com/pics/X...

I tried to research the marks on this demitasse cup holder I bought today. Some Internet info says it's plated, other info says it's sterling. Can someone verify one way or the other? The mark shows "GORHAM E P YC 178" Thank you for you help. Lori
