<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joe Wagner, post: 2220623, member: 15185&quot;]Hello there, I&#039;m new to this forum so forgive me if I violate any rules or etiquette or anything. I am not necessarily new to the world of collecting/antiques and whatnot, but I&#039;m very far from especially knowledgeable as well. Anyway, I happened upon a plate/dish that after a reasonable amount of research I&#039;m 95% certain is silver plated, and therefore essentially a worthless trinket. However, I thought I would seek out a second opinion, and maybe I could learn a bit more. Even if the piece is worthless, it still might be an interesting find because it seems to have been etched, rather than engraved with some sort of identifying marks, one of which says a date, which I read as 1901 and the other a proper noun, which is difficult to read. It is in classic &#039;Old English&#039; typeface and it seems to say something like &#039;The Pide....&#039; Can anyone help with this in terms of authentication or history?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
