[QUOTE="udoittwo, post: 308279, member: 1916"]Hello again, I found several "sterling" souvenir spoons in a lot of sterling. All are marked "STERLING" and I am sure most of them are but I found 2 spoons with enameled pieces attached at the head. They were glued on and fell off. Fortunately, the total weight of both was only 8 grams. I'm guessing they aren't silver. I deeply scraped the bowl and put a drop of acid in. The color never changed nor did it even hurt the metal. Of what are they made? Stainless? Just curious what they might be? Thanks again, Karl.[/QUOTE]
