Message:: [QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9477585, member: 10944"]Top part (liquid bearing) and base look to be soldered together. No mark anywhere, unless faded from polish. I’ve looked it over a million times. If American coin silver they usually put it somewhere pretty obvious unlike some continental makers. I did just put a flashlight on it and lo and behold I do see brass bleeding though on the underside of the handle where the most contact would be made by fingers. I wonder what the odds are that the handle would be another metal that was plated and the rest silver? Would brass conduct heat less than silver? It probably would. Idk about a brass handle and silver body though? I just put a pretty deep scrape on the bottom and I don’t see brass there. It looks like someone already scraped that area a long time ago. It’s heavier than I’d expect for coin silver but I’ve never had a coin silver jug. I guess if you would afford a jug maybe you could afford a thicker gauge of silver. It does appear to have been hammered on the areas that would have been harder or less important to smooth out. [ATTACH=full]444163[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]444164[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
