<p>[QUOTE="buyjunksellantiques, post: 65656, member: 658"]That's kind of what I thought. I am assuming it's from about 1950 to date. Dating it will help me find out more about it, I hope. But I'm stumped at what company or artist would make this with the Saks Fifth Avenue mark or label. So many do that sort of thing. And usually if it's plated, it's marked "silver over copper" or Silver plated, or Sterling plated. At least the gilt things that I've had in the past have all said that. That's why I'm assuming it's nickel or even coin silver. It could be chrome for all I know, even stainless steel. I've never put it in the dishwasher.</p><p><br /></p><p>I really want to clarify that I'm not looking for a free appraisal, I believe this group is not intended for that sort of thing. I'm trying to find out who made it if anyone else has something similar, and possibly when it could have been made. I also checked with Saks and got nowhere.
