<p>[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 60741, member: 59"]Teehee. Believe it or not, that was a common practice in the mid-20th C. Some makers used the term "sterling weighted" without mention of the material. As it is, just about everything with a base has weighting of some kind hiding inside. Same is true of the knives in flatware sets that have "fat" handles. Just a skin of silver for looks and a batch of cement holding it out in the right shape.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
