<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MrNate, post: 9539148, member: 5515&quot;]Here&#039;s my guesses:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]453325[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>1. The candlesticks look great to me, that would be my best bet for being genuine based onthe tone and the thin edge at the top. I would expect these to either be fully hollow, hollow at the top with a weighted bottom, or fully weighted.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. This little folding device looks plated.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. This ornate utensil looks nice to me; I would give it a 50/50 chance of silver vs. silverplate.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. This little piece has the right tone, but not enough info for me to make a guess.</p><p><br /></p><p>5. I would love the teapot to be silver. I wish I could see the handle side as I rely a lot on that for clues. As it sits I would guess plated based on the tone of the metal near the handle I circled.</p><p><br /></p><p>6. Tone looks wrong here, but I&#039;ve been fooled plenty before. I would guess plated.</p><p><br /></p><p>7. Tough call on this handle, to me the metal that I circled in red looks quite thick, I would personally expect a thinner edge if real silver. Who knows, but my guess would be plated.</p><p><br /></p><p>8. A few mixed signals on this little baby cup. Positive is a thin handle, but the relief image on the side looks stamped. If I had to guess I would say plated. </p><p><br /></p><p>9. This looks like a sterling thimble shot glass like this one:</p><p><a href="https://www.chairish.com/product/6599701/antique-sterling-silver-only-a-thimble-full-motto-giant-sewing-thimble-shot-glass" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.chairish.com/product/6599701/antique-sterling-silver-only-a-thimble-full-motto-giant-sewing-thimble-shot-glass" rel="nofollow">https://www.chairish.com/product/6599701/antique-sterling-silver-only-a-thimble-full-motto-giant-sewing-thimble-shot-glass</a></p><p><br /></p><p>10. The creamer has a nice thin spout that I would expect from sterling. Hard to say as I can&#039;t see it all, but 50/50 for silver is my guess.</p><p><br /></p><p>11. Everything in here is a &quot;bonus gamble&quot; when you bid on this lot. Just one or two of those plates being sterling would quickly turn this into a treasure pile. </p><p><br /></p><p>Seeing it in person definitely would change my bidding strategy. Based on just this photo I would realistically try to be $75 - $100 max and pray something in group 11 is real.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
