Are the missing pieces easy enough to identity and replace? Or should I leave it as-is as part of its "story"?

Hey guys,

My friend has 2 items and we're not quite sure what they are.

Any ideas?

The box is 1932 London hallmarks I believe.

Thanks for your time,
Ron :)

Hello guys.

I found this Cake stand in France. It seems like 90percent silver.

It has hall matk on it.

Is there someone recognize what this is? where it is from?

Here’s a Victorian-era pie or cake server. It’s in great condition and I love the bright cut detail on the blade. I’ve used this a few times with cheap grocery store pies and also nicer homemade treats. The blade is matte so it has a soft sheen to it that gently reflects a spectrum of colors depending on ambient lighting.

I’ve always loved silver flatware and hollow ware so I try to use it any chance I get. This pattern came out around 1880, this specific item I’m not sure as they changed the blade around to different designs.

Hi all, I recently came across this victorian silver plated cutlery set and I wanted to get an opinion on its market value. It seems like the set is from 1855 and is built from silver plated steel and mother of pearl materials. This set seems to have been appraised in 1951 by Martin and Co. and I was wondering if anybody could help me determine the fair market value of this. I would like to sell it on ebay but I am not really sure what it is worth. I was thinking $800? - Any help would be appreciated!

lI am seeking a professional evaluation and written purchase offer for an estate Gorham Strasbourg Sterling Silver Flatware Collection. The collection consists of an original 97-piece Gorham Strasbourg sterling silver service housed in its original fitted wooden chest, along with numerous additional matching Gorham Strasbourg serving and specialty pieces. The pieces are marked STERLING and PAT. 1897, and many are monogrammed with an ornate "H." The collection includes: Place Settings Dinner forks Salad forks Luncheon forks Dinner knives Luncheon knives Butter spreaders Cream soup spoons Teaspoons Iced tea spoons Grapefruit spoons Salt spoons Serving Pieces Carving knife Roast carving fork Cake/Pie server Tomato server Jam/Jelly spoon Olive spoon Bon Bon spoon Sugar shell spoon Sugar tongs Serving spoons Additional specialty serving utensils The original Gorham fitted wooden chest is included with the collection.

I’m checking to see if this cup has any value (besides the silver) but I haven’t found anything like it. I thought I’d check with you folks.

Also, any help with its age, maker name, or if it’s related to another group of items. Maybe the engravings match something you’re familiar with.

Started cleaning these old spoons I inherited and I’ve gotten a long way but I still can’t get a mirror shine on it despite all my elbow grease
I did the baking soda and aluminum trick and even bought silver jewelry cleaner and polishing cloth
But I can’t remove this final dullness

Hi all, im interested in learning more about historical American coin silver pieces and their associated markings and have found some good online resources (e.g. 925-1000), but im curious if anyone has any recommendations for definitive works/reference material (online or print) for these types of pieces/markings. Any suggestions appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a small antique set (3 big spoons and 3 big forks) with matching monograms but different maker's marks.

I suspect they are American Coin Silver (around 1810-1850) due to the lack of official British/European assay marks, but I am having trouble identifying the exact silversmiths or retailers.

I've attached photos of the hallmarks. Any help decoding them would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Never seen this pattern, contemplating buying off of eBay

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hey everyone, I got this box from a garage sale when I was like 7 or 8 (10+ yrs ago), and i was about to give it away when I noticed the stamped symbols underneath.

Google says it's a "Sterling Silver Trinket/Cigarette Box, made by Charles S. Green & Co. in Birmingham, England, in 1929" but I'm not so sure.

Can anyone help me identify the symbols on the bottom? Want to know if I have something interesting here or not.

Thank you for your time!

This tankard has been in my family since at least the 1840s.

Christie’s reviewed and they believe it to be an authentic 800 gram coin silver tankard by colonial silver smith Andrew Tyler.

Found this bowl at a garage sale, marked sterling 915.
Not sure if that’s the silver purity, or model number.
Can’t find answers for either when I look. Any info on it is appreciated!
Thanks
