[QUOTE="libbyloodle, post: 1616549, member: 376"]Thanks to everyone! Hi Bakers :happy: Laura ~ Any Jewelry... I too, thought Russian at first...but the marks just didn't seem to work the more I read. I did get super excited initially though, when I read that 96 is pure silver! But Cheryl has now burst that bubble and confirmed it's not Russian ;) (I do hope you're wrong about the silverplate, Cheryl!) I didn't think of this before, but I wonder how durable/strong a spoon would be in pure silver? I tried the pencil rubbing ~ with no success. The marks are so worn. I tried for better pics, too. Not sure these are better but I think it's the best possible. Maybe someone will be able to piece together the mark by taking bits and pieces from these...thank you again for helping with this.
