[QUOTE="JewelryPicker, post: 9501662, member: 20513"]Tonight at my local auction is the once per month antique special sale I just stopped in for a quick preview on my lunch break. this item is a 12” square serving tray signed Tiffany, weighing 823g I’d like some opinions on the marking 1. I can’t say I’ve ever seen a sterling piece that is also marked “silver soldered” 2. The letter EP mean “extra plate” or “electroplate” and should NEVER be stamped on a sterling piece unless that happens to be the maker’s initials 3. The “sterling” stamp does not match the other markings in font, size or evenness 4. It “feels” like a a silverplated tray, though thick & heavy, it doesn’t “feel” right, proportionally Is this a fake sterling mark added to a Tiffany plated tray? A fake Tiffany mark altogether? im sure it will bring in the $500-600 range based on weight alone, but I don’t want to be anywhere involved if it’s fake [ATTACH=full]449240[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]449241[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
