<p>[QUOTE="Elen Beattie, post: 9611465, member: 18081"]Hi everyone! I picked this little pendant up at auction recently. It was listed as 925 silver but I had an inkling that it wasn't one of the 1980s repros so I took a chance (there was no pictures of the back!). It is actually marked "Ster" rather than 925 as listed so along with the overall look, I believe it is of the period (hopefully). There appears to be a makers mark above the "Ster" but it's hard to make out. I am wondering what it was used for? I have seen tiny spoons described as for snuff and even as an ear cleaner! Any ideas? Would it have been a pendant? I added the chain, it didn't come with it. It measures 2"L x 0.75"W. Thanks as always!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]468302[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]468303[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]468304[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]468305[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
