[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 57179, member: 360"]These were on sale at a local antiques shop. They look like they've never, ever been used, and probably opened only a handful of times in their lives.

MORDAN & CO". Date: Ca. 1880-1910. Material: Sterling Silver. No hallmarks, but I have it on good authority from a friend of mine who collects these (and has done, probably for longer than I've been alive!), that they are definitely sterling silver, based on the company's production history. They were also described as Sterling Silver in the original sale-ticket. I have no reason to not believe two separate opinions.[/QUOTE]
