[QUOTE="cxgirl, post: 7678367, member: 63"]Hi All, The Silver God was smiling on my as I found a few more pieces of silver:) The bowl and shakers were very dirty so I can understand how the marks were missed, but the shell dishes are clearly marked sterling. Any information is appreciated thanks for looking:) The Birks bowl has a dent in the side but it weighs 342g so will sell for scrap. I don't know if dents can be taken out, but it is a plain bowl so I don't think there is any value other than scrap.
