  1. It's not that old. The charms would help you date it..
  2. Silver test first..
  3. Likely Mexican late 1990's as per the back pattern. A massed produced item..
  4. Hi.. not really a mystery.. look it up on internet...
  5. I have a set in sterling silver.. service for the king or queen in the house (:
  6. Need better photo of marks.. should be too hard..
  7. Cuz they wanted to sell it? Probably a ruby heart
  8. Novels book, quote, By 1830 the words COIN, PURE COIN, DOLLAR, STANDARD, PREMIUM, or the letters "C" or "D" were placed on silver to indicate that it was 900 out of 1000 parts silver.
  9. Can you post a link to your goblet? Or upload here? I've never seen the same mark.. lol (:
  10. Well, almost entirely eliminated Russian unless it was private collection or Faberge. Doubtful. Most like is Macedonian who also used critic. Then it would be Greek after that. Hqve not found it...
  11. Yes, i read that somewhere.. about what age and which group.. do you know?
  12. Lalaounis and zolotas pieces have had ever increasing values. I dont find this an especially beautiful piece. But with maker, it doesnt seem to matter. I have a bunch of zolotas pieces and all of t...
  13. Sorry, swap all references to RR as being correctly KK. The stamp itself could just be a leopards head.. and the kk just the way they created the stamp. It then being the complete makers mark. No d...
  14. Hello All, Any ideas to the maker much appreciated. I NOT RUSSIAN unless some specific Faberge.. unlikely, or for a Czar. It still looks crylic as in rr or some other form of mm. It has a lion, ...
  15. Hi Celiene, After research, i agree. Not Sid Bell. I like your ideas about maker. I havent been able to find the actual but very likely a Navajo, or wider, Native American piece of some practice...
  16. Well Celiene, so far I beg to differ. He worked with stone and specific turquoise. Especially later in collaboration with Tully. He was not limited only to stones of Alaska. This stamp is typical ...
  17. Stillwater and chinablue I could use your help in setting a value of a vintage marked piece I posted under show and tell. Please advise if you can! thanks :) Steve
  18. pixielee.. did some research. Would appreciate if you could clean up the marks and take a straight on picture. Will then return to research some more.. thanks, Steve
  19. Okay.. clearly show before and after pictures. I couldn't and won't be able to identify this makers mark. So, I know it was dark and ill regularly patina'd. So, with great effort, off came the pati...
  20. Mikko.. This is beautiful. Wonderful B-Day present. What stone is it? Larson is a big name in Sweden. I am a "larson" in effect. Though my family switched it to "Lawson" when moving to the USA. ...
  21. Stillwater, for sure.. this filigree piece stinks of cigar/tobacco. Wherever it came from it was probably hanging for a long long time. The stink definitely has that nasty tobacoo smell as well. Th...
  22. flowerrose, I am currently in process (5 hours so far) in cleaning this :). As you can see.. it was awful. Some would have said to leave patina but with black.. you cant remove black without shining...
  23. Lol.. thanks Stillwater and chinablue.. I just got done learning about using the blitz and rouge cloths. I started with some basic bowls to get used to it. They are simply marked. I spent a lot of ...
  24. Awesome work, background and history.. Loved reading it all.
  25. These appear to be Arabic. Egyptian maybe. Check 925-1000 web site then http://www.silvercollection.it/englishsilverhallmarks.html. sorry, it would just take up too much time to research. Check Ot...
  26. Hi chinablue.. if it was yours it would be beautiful and shiny not black and smelly wrapped 3x so it doesn't stink the house :). Must have been in a cigar house or something. dealer said oxidized. ...
  27. Flowerrose, I have finally purchase cleaning materials and the proper cleaners with great help from silversmith Jeffery Herman who does absolutely magnificent work. I will start with a few just above...
  28. Just to note, it is likely the piece was oxidized as the antiques dealer's nose knows best :). Still have not gotten the courage or experience to clean. It stands as a Greek .925 1930-1950 piece "Ha...
  29. BHock, ROB is surely correct. Please mark this as "solved". Thanks! Steve
  30. Hi Mcwouden, TYPICALLY, any "ware" would be accompanied by a sterling, assay mark, and site of origination. This item appears to have a beautiful stamp that is typical of note for a "plated" item. ...
  31. Hi Mcwouden, It is as you have detailed. The company produced much Ambassador silver plate. A single piece of silver plate of no great uniqueness tends to go for less than $5. Please, accept this ...
  32. Hi miKKo, Manny, miKKo is most correct. Looking silver and being silver would be best determined by marks somewhere on the tray. I'd also add that you appear to be a strong man. Looking at the siz...
  33. Hi Nosscar, Lalaounis will always retain a collectors appeal. The larger 75 size recently sold for $55. These are decorative pieces as use as even a candy dish would cover the centerpiece sterling ...
  34. Hi, I hopefully will not disappoint your dreams. This appears to be brass with vintage tarnish. The reasons the bill and legs would be brighter would be due to those sections being more "polished" ...
  35. Need to know. Is the clover 3 leaf with a stem or 4 leaf?
  36. Will do a little looking around. The bubbles in the glass are related to the fact that they are old pieces. Good sign. Also that it is .800 silver since that was used more before 1920's. My first ...
  37. Well.. the only thing left would be to find the date of manufacture but surely around that 1889. Simpson, Hall, Miller, & Co. is the manufacturer. Quadruple Plate means it's silver plate of quadrupl...
  38. Chinablue is correct on all accounts. It's weighted. The C inside the chevron is the makers mark. Couldn't easily find it. The 30 is the pattern. Not much left to say except good luck searching f...
  39. It looks to me to be Chinese export of coin silver quality.
  40. Hi.. EMP PLATA MEX S.A. Is likely the maker of this piece. Plata means silver in spanish. M means it was made or assayed in Mexico City. E -15 meaning they were the 15th company to registered a ...
  41. Bwammy.. chinablue is correct. Without more info to start with, nobody's going to be able to identify. Most important are her requests for hallmarks. These should be stamped in multiple places on a...
  42. Estate Antiques.. He's a good friend and dealer. He admitted he was wrong. The piece stinks from sitting in tobacco room for years. The stamp did not match what I said it was.. Constantinople. It ...
  43. Wonderful piece.. hand made. Wouldn't have a clue where to start without some writing on it. Your best bet is to keep posting it around and hope someone recognizes the maker.. Congrats ~ Steve
  44. Chinablue.. I have sent off an email for appraisal to possibly get it cleaned to brilliant shiny silver again :). I can only wonder what it looks like new. Scandinavian_pieces.. thanks so much for a...
  45. I haven't seen them before. The great thing about the English is they hallmark all their silver plate and silver. There should be some stamps or what we call, makers marks, date marks and such on th...
  46. Bhenry.. this is not Sterling Silver. Sorry to inform you. Any sterling piece with marks or makers marks would designate with a sterling mark. I do doubt this is even silver. Steve
  47. How about any makers marks?
  48. I wonder why they don't date their pieces ? It cant be 100's of years old even with the black color to it.. .925 wasn't always used in Greece..
  49. That is awesome news! I know Cyprus is known for its filgree work. I am very happy to find out this is Greek NOT Turkish or otherwise... I have a few nice Greek pieces.. great to know its the same!...
  50. Thank you for your interest. It is rather large. It weighs 850 grams alone. I agree on the confusion of the marks. I could pull it out and clean just the makers marks to see more info. Might do t...
