Wow...that looks pretty cool! By the markings I would guess it's made in England. The stamps will most likely tell you the year it was made and by whom. It might take a bit of investigating...but would be well worth it if it's real silver.

I love antiques and can't wait to hear how this turns out!!

Good luck!!!

We used to make a drinking game out of it. Every time someone said veneer....and something else I can't remember.

This might help you identify some of the marks, go to the British section it looks like. It's worth checking into, just be careful who you sell it to, making sure you are getting it's true value.

That's hilarious! DH & I did that once watching hurricane coverage on TWC and drank everytime a certain meteorologist said "my friend".

I collect silver. I wish I could see that hallmark a little better. I think I might have left that there in your attic. If I pay postage will you return it to me?
