Help for hallmarks

Post by Catkinson »

Hi
Can someone identify this hallmark and is it silver or silver plate? The coffee pot has a dent and I don't know whether it is worth getting repaired or not. It weighs just over 500gms

Hi and welcome to the forum

A. Collet SA was a retailer in Geneva, Switzerland. Active from approx. 1890 onwards.
800 indicated silver alloy with a silver Content of 80%. So "massive silver", not silver plate

Hi
Thank you so much for the quick response. I also have the teapot, sugar bow and milk jug. Is it an expensive repair to get the dent removed to complete the set and is it worth the effort?

Regards
