I have a couple of nice sterling spoons. They are very pointy and sharp at the tips and they have a rim around the bottom edge of the bowl. They are marked with what is either,"J.S. Co.", "F. S. Co." or T. S. Co". This is followed by some sort of mark that I cannot make out, then the word "sterling"...

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how you determined that this fork is silverplate? I ask because I see it was moved but I do not know why. What country is this silverplate from and how could you tell it was silverplate?
Thank you

Thank you so much! I checked the site but I was looking in the wrong place.

Hello All, I just got this great serving fork. It measures about 8 1/2" long. The marks are on the face, just below the tines. The mark on the left is inside a square divided into two halves, top and bottom. The bottom half has the number "100". The top half has some sort of animal like a lion, exce...

Hi All, I have this spoon with a really unusual mark. I have included photos but the mark is a little hard to read. I am afraid my camera is not the best. This spoon has a lion engraved on the end of the back of the handle. The handle has two marks on the back. The first rectangle has the letters, &...

Boy, am I a lamo!! That is FMI, not KMI. Sorry for any potential confusion!!!

Hi Folks! I have acquired this great pair of matching vases. They were both black when I got them but they have cleaned up nicely. I am guessing they are silver plate as they do not have any of the commonly known sterling marks for Portugal. May question is this, Can anyone out there give me informa...

Hi All, This is a really tough one! I just bought this open salt. It footed and hand hammered. The only mark that I can find on it is on the base. It is very small! I appears to be to figures standing side by side on top of wavy lines. They are inside of an oval. As this piece is not marked with, 92...

The bowl underneath is frosted glass so it certainly is not original to the lid. The lid itself is not marked, just the base of the cow. The cow and the lid appear to be one piece, yet there is a screw and a nut inside the top of the lid.
Thanks for all of the help.

I just acquired this great dish with a sterling lid. I was told it is a butter pat dish. The sterling lid features a cow on top with the following hallmarks: TB&S, a lion passant, a monarch in profile, and a crown and the #1 in a rectangle. I think it is British, but the absence of a date letter...

I just got this great Mexico silver bowl. It measures 5" high, 7 1/2" wide and weighs a pound and a half. It is just beautiful. It has so many marks too, at least four seperate ones. I eagerly sat down with my Mexican silver books and...I could not identify one mark! I am hoping someone here can hel...

Hi Again Wev,

Just a question if you do not mind. I thought that the symbols on the Giles Bros spoon-a face in profile, the letters SMJ and the rearing lion-were hallmarks?
Thank you.

Hello, I recently purchased a bag of spoons. They all had similar shapes, but the markings on the backs were different. Four read, "Pure Coin" and had an arm and fist holding a hammer inside a shield. Others read, "Giles Bros & Co." while others read this as well but were acc...

Hi All- I have this terrific necklace. It is very heavy and the sides are hinged. It is marked on the inside with a 3-leaf clover. Each leaf has a letter. These letters are, "JRZ". It is also marked with, "Sterling, 925, Mexico, and TR-32". It is so beautiful, I would dearly love to know more about ...
