Hello all,

I have this silver tray with 4 marks
keltum - crown - fox - horn.

I know the combination of Van Kempen, Begeer & Vos,
But the combination Keltum & Vos i never saw before

The tray is tested as silver

Who can tell me more about it?

Thanks a lot
Eric

click 'Share', then copy and paste the 'Hotlink for forums' code to embed your images).

Acid test on silver plated items are not reliable.

Hi,
It is van Keltum silver plate marked with their bugle mark.
I think they used 90 grams silver standard for silver plating.
