[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 4538121, member: 51"]First off, what should I call this exactly. Is there a more specific descriptor than just "pitcher"? 10" tall, and there are markings on what I'm guessing is silver. The marks appear on the base as well as inside the lid. Massive polishing needed, but we all know how much I like to polish! :dead: Top reads: 3/X. 1907: [ATTACH=full]401476[/ATTACH] Do you think this was the former owner's name or could it mean something else ? [ATTACH=full]401478[/ATTACH] Haven't really researched the marks because not sure if this is an FH, FN, or FM: [ATTACH=full]401481[/ATTACH] The above marks appear on the outside base of the silver section and also inside the lid. Here is another picture of the mark with the head from the non-polished section. [ATTACH=full]401482[/ATTACH] I'm terrible at sterling marks. Does this right facing head mean sterling? I'm not thinking huge value for this piece, but wanted to do some research before I try to get $20 for it at my garage sale. Can always list on Ebay if it would be worth it, no ivory handle issues, lol. Thanks![/QUOTE]
