Thank you too, Salmoned. I did not realize there were that many ways for testing for volume. Well, maybe I did, but I guess I just didn't apply it to testing silver. Sure do appreciate this information. These are going in my "need to remember" place! : )

Hi Silvy - I sure appreciate all the information - especially on the silver testing part. I sure didn't know about the water test and we are about to check it out. The other information about the numbers is great help too! Now we just have to discover if that is a 48 or 49 - LOL! Thanks again - your...

Hi Silvy - I really appreciate all the information that you have given me. I was really getting a little frustrated because I could not find this anywhere on the internet or in books that I had (of course I was trying to look for "cornetas" instead of just cornet. The strange thing is my h...

I have tried to find this mark and have had no luck - looks like a horn and I think Cornet or Corneter. Of course we may be looking at this totally wrong. I believe the 2 letters are MB?

Thank you, Cheryl, now that you say "spun on a pin" I am seeing at top of either side is a place where pins could have been set (they are indents, not all the way through). At first we just thought it was part of the building decor. I appreciate the information and will try and research fr...

Thank you for your input, Salmoned, it is appreciated. Looking at this very carefully we do not see where the vanes could have been, nothing seems to be broken off but it would have been a great detail. They may be identical "X's", sometimes it is really hard to make out these markings. Th...

My husband bought this nice cruet at an auction this weekend thinking it was silver. I have searched everywhere I can think of and cannot find these marks anywhere: The single letter "K" followed by a shield with maybe a double "K" (one backwards) or maybe "X" & &qu...
