Tiffany & Co silver pin

Здравейте! Радвам се, че съм тук, благодаря за посрещането! Бих искал да споделя с вас тази сребърна игла Tiffany&Co. Според мен датировката му е приблизително 1900-1920г. Искам ако е възможно да споделя малко актуална информация за него - период, рядкост и евентуално цена! Поздравления!

 

Members are going to need a closer look at the Tiffany mark I think.

Well hello! Glad to be here, thanks for the welcome! I would like to share with you this silver needle Tiffany&Co. In my opinion, its date is approximately 1900-1920. I want if possible to share some up-to-date information about it - period, rarity and possibly price! Congratulations!

 

Welcome, Dimitrov. Your item appears to be a pincushion not a pin. And as Lark has suggested above, we do need a larger picture of the marking.

 

I managed to increase the size and can now see that the marking is "silver soldered" meaning the item is silver plated and not sterling silver.

 

Yes, thanks, I will upload pictures!

 

The metal has been filed acid tested and reacts to silver!

 

Silver plate is a layer of pure silver over a base metal. It is not solid sterling silver. The term silver soldered for silver plate is very common in the USA where this was made.

 

Regardless of test results, this piece is, as already said, silverplate, the stamp reads 'SILVER-SOLDERED-E.P.', the 'E.P.' indicating 'Electro-Plate'...
