<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 3958491, member: 10944"]These came in a spoon rack as part of a country/farm house decor lot. I assume no one noticed they looked like coin silver, which I assume they are. However I can’t find the maker “A. Shire”. Since I can’t find the maker and since they have a very rainbow like tone, which I most often see on silverplate, a shred of doubt has entered my mind as to their makeup. Still guessing probably coin silver though. One of the eBay compiling sites (Vatican I think) had a reference to one but I could not find the actual link once going to the site. The blurb said 1892 which sounds a little late for coin silver instead of sterling but I’m sure some was still being made. Checked my copy of Flynt & Fales and the big silver mark site to no avail. Anyone know this one? [ATTACH=full]323634[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]323635[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
