    Picked this interesting fruit dish up for a fiver. On researching this item came across very little information. I am still not sure if it plate or solid. The Josef Schneider hallmark I think is a hotel chain and the numbers I think are possibly silver guage marks and date marks. I hope someone out there can help.

      SILVER FINENESS MARKS
      NUMBERS AND SYMBOLS OF SILVER PURITY DEGREE

      The fineness of a precious metal object (coin, bar, jewelry, etc.) represents the weight of fine metal therein, in proportion to the total weight which includes alloying base metals and any impurities. Alloy metals are added to increase hardness and durability of coins and jewelry, alter colors, decrease the cost per weight, or avoid the cost of high-purity refinement.
      Most countries have silver standards based on the parts per thousand of pure metal by mass in the alloy. Other systems express the silver standard in other ways as "zolotnick" (Russia) and "loth" (loth in Austria and German area, luoti in Finland, lõdig in Norway). Various other standards were used in the past centuries in other European countries (e.g. Italy, France, Portugal, Spain).
      The marks used to certify the level of silver purity are the corresponding number, a number and one or more letters, a symbol or a mix of symbol/number/letter.
      In this page are reported only the most common standards actually adopted in silver manufacture, ignoring those that, even if authorized, are scarcely used.
      To know or identify purity degree can be useful to answer the question: where it was made this silver item?
      Use the link on country name to connect directly to the corresponding marks page.

      Thanks Trey thats given me a little more insight into German silver. From the information given I was correct in the guage or parts of silver and to the date letters. So, on value you can safely say its not going to be an early retirement. May I also thank Reise, Jenny, jscott0363, Blunderbuss2, Cisum and of course Trey for the loves and information.
