Hello Everyone, Thank you for all the posts. "salmoned", I am going to give the Specific Gravity test a try, since I don't wish to damage the items I'm testing. The test seems easy enough to do, although I'm going to need to pick myself up a new scale. I have a specific question regarding ...

Hi! Was wondering what methods I can use to test silver content on silver flatware.

Hello everyone! Does anyone have any favorite reference books on British Sterling Makers Marks? I want to bulk up my reference library a little. Looking for references on Antique (Georgian, etc) up to Modern. I have good references on dating & assay marks, just need references for makers marks. ...

Hi Niles & Nigel! Thanks. My initial thoughts were that it was Thomas Dicks as well. Yes, the two hallmarks are slightly different. The one hallmark (no dot) is on the bottom of the cruet holder. There is also as "TD" on the handle. The "T.D" is on the spoon, that is part of ...
