<p>[QUOTE="buyingtime777, post: 279134, member: 188"]The first one has a thin round piece supported by a piece going down to each foot coming up underneath. My first thought was to hold something to aid in warming it perhaps. That is the only difference I see besides OP's has been polished and cleaned a bit much at some point. I believe this piece is like an engraved silver pocket watch case and something is added at the time they were made that blackens or "antiques" the engraved detail to highlight the design. Carefully polished and cleaned this remains to beautify the object. On OP's it has been cleaned with something that has removed this. When it is polished it will be very silver without the original antiquing to highlight the details.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
