I sniff the potential silver.

 

I've tried, but don't do to well with sniffing it out.

 

Found this adorable little set today. I was big into Deruta pottery for a minute. I love them.

NICE spoon @terry5732, but I'd trust what @Bakersgma comes up with....EVEN polished well, it was hard to clarify what was there!!!! jEB. BERNHARD??? And the 'critter' definitely looks like a standing bear with an I behind it........

The Berlin assay-master (warden) letter is a partially obscured 'L', dating 1854-1863, the Gothic 'D' is the secondary assayer mark, dating 1854-c.1864.

I thought this was a purty free box find today

 

Terry-That's the prettiest danged vintage flashlight I've ever seen !...Bakelite,is the lens cap newer ? By the way-who has free boxes,I thought everything got more expensive last few years.

 

If you're shipping Priority, you can get assorted sizes from the USPS. I use a fair number of the Regional Rate A boxes.

 

More cute kitchen ware,Anne Marie Odegaard ,Norwegian designer,1960s-70s,Porsgund. I just had to cause they are so fun !Note the little peppers have tears in their eyes!

Plate of costume $2-$3, orange gemstones carnelian. Pendants, goldtone costume, onyx & marquise probably rhodium, not sure what the blue stone is, maybe laboridite, has a cats eye sheen., sterling.

Bracelet maybe unmarked sterling, stones test as rubies.

 

Got the justice piece from ebay, marked "sterling," work beautifully done.

 

The goldwashed sterling chain was $2.

This was a bargain for an antique mall since they didn't know it was Mikimoto. I did spend $58....birthday gift to myself.

Silverplate is getting very hard to find here....used to pick it up all the time. If you know the patterns, let me know, I will research them later if not. Found the one on the right with the rounded bottom and leaves.

 

The one on the left is Rogers' Crown pattern, 1885. Can you read the makers' marks on the backs of the other 2?
