    Can you help me identify the purity of the silver on these trays? I am not entirely sure what the marks mean, other than that the cat means silver prior to 1946. Are they solid, and if so, what is the purity?

    It is 900 silver, slightly lower fineness than sterling/925.

    Emendation: it is marked 900. If tested, it may prove higher. Egyptian assay marks are not always precise & actual fineness can be something in between standard grades.
