<p>[QUOTE="vitry-le-francois, post: 205039, member: 100"]The platter on the right is from Malaysia so it could be Yogya silver. The largest one is from Columbia and it features that country's crest. The lower right platter is from the NY World's fair. The left is not inscribed but came with a presentation plaque and a photograph with that bowl. That is simply an 800 silver bowl that I suppose, outside of the plaque, is just that--a silver bowl.</p><p><br /></p><p>The back story is that these four platters were in a box lot with other plated items. They were offered as "box lot of plated articles with tarnish. Good condition." Only one other person noticed the silver but I still got the lot for $160USD.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm usually not sentimental about stuff like this and usually prefer the hard cash.
