Oh, wow! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! This site is such a great resource!

Hello silver lovers! I would appreciate your opinions/advice on the following marks on my silver ladle. I think it's Sterling, London, 1827 - (or could that "m" be 1787? the m's for both years look the same to me on the date chart). Am I on the right track? Or could they be Chinese pseudo ...

I'm stumped on trying to identify the origin and date of this large serving tray. I just assumed it was silverplate, but now I am reading about Old Sheffield Plate and pseudo marks on silverplate.

Wow, you guys are good! Thanks so much!

I failed to mention it is also marked "sterling" and "6510", which is probably the pattern no.

Hello, First of all, thank you so much for all the effort put into this site. I have learned so much! I have not been able to identify the maker of this compote. Unfortunately, part of the mark is missing. It looks sort of like a crab or maybe a bull? I saw a similar bowl on eBay recently and the se...
