I have no idea if this is silver or not. I am a novice and would like to understand the values of things.... I took a pic of the markings in the picture 2 - HELP?!! its approx. 10 to 12 inches by 6 - 7 inches and around1 1/2 inch deep with rope edging. I have know idea but this is something.
Should I polish it or leave it alone. ?
Its so heavy and quite pretty- but there are signs of wear (no deep scatches)
thanks so much

Business opened in the old building of Middletown Plate Co when it was taken by International Silver Co. The firm was still active in 1940s.

It's silver electroplated copper. I personally keep my silver clean and polished, using it helps. Thanks for sharing.
