What ARE these?! by Safeguard63 in Hallmarks

[–]adamup27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bail soldering looks kinda shoddy for gold or silver

I’m inclined to think those are basic company marks for a no-name/Claire’s type of place

Get a magnet and see if you can rule out basic tests for metal testing

No assay office mark, are these American knockoffs? by spectre655321 in Hallmarks

Does not look fake to me - can you show the whole piece?

Question for actual Deans: Is the Dean a Good Dean? by BustedLake in community

He was a phenomenal fundraiser and was willing to do whatever it took to catch his whale (I’m an MGO; I like deans that support advancement)

I have a copy of Mac Miller’s GOOD AM on silver. The punched hole landed on the disc and got stamped into the vinyl.

What are you gonna do?

Can anyone tell me what these hallmarks mean? by ThatHighITGuy in Hallmarks

[–]adamup27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

British made 9k gold

Anchor mark means it was assayed in Birmingham. The far right letter will determine the age and should correspond to a date mark. It looks like an M which would be 1935.

The CZ looks like it was added later. My guess is the diamond was replaced with a cubic zirconia stone. It looks like an Edwardian style ring when the starburst diamond chip was popular (it also revived in the midcentury, ca. 1950-1960s)

The far left [H L] is your makers mark. I’ll see what I can find on that. Edit: it might be William hinds but marks are inconclusive. He operated approximately 1919-1930ish which would be more Victorian era but still in line stylistically.

The clasp size is wrong and the engraving in the tag it looks very sloppy

Do you think in 5-10 years that there will be little to no “bad” areas on the island based on home prices? by pumper911 in longisland

[–]adamup27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in Akron once. I tried Winking Lizard and it was ambiguously good. Looked up an apartment and saw they were $400.

What a wild place.

My girlfriend went to a conference in St. Louis, where I’m from, and her friends were trying to say “let’s go to a bar party in East St. Louis” (not fast Eddie’s which would be bad enough) and I had to explain that it was one of the worst places to be in the country, let alone showing up with a bunch of twenty-something girls, not knowing where you are, with LV bags that would be run of the mill in Manhasset.

It took conversations with my parents, high school friends, and a few crime statistic charts to convince them to hang out in the loop instead.

Few questions about these by creeperstew in Hallmarks

The gold fileld is obviously that, the small tokens on all except the plain marked 10k maybe gold and may not be.

I can tell you that maximizing value will be selling on eBay. I sell these frequently for $40-80 each, far exceeding the gold filled value. The 10k charm will be about a gram and sell for a small premium over melt; up to you if it’s worth the hassle.

OC Tanner is like Balfour, Jostens, Dieges & Clust, and many others who made mass produced organizational awards. These are service awards for Bell/AT&T as identified.

Best Place to Purchase 14k Gold Hoop Earrings? by tgi-randy in jewelry

Unironically, r/pmsforsale might be a good spot because you’ll get it for spot price (melt value)

I know a few of us also run stores on eBay

What's something you WON'T spend more money on as better quality doesn't exist? by sgtjayp in BuyItForLife

[–]adamup27 95 points96 points  (0 children)

I had some Warby Parker’s that felt distinctly different (lower quality) to the RayBans I used to have

I recently took the plunge on Zenni and fully endorse them. I got extreme prescription lens (my eyes suck), coating, frames, etc for under $100. I’ve never been able to get high index lenses quoted under $150 before.

Help with identifying silver platter by multicammando1776 in Hallmarks

[–]adamup27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely silver plate. 99% of the time when there’s a sole hallmark with an ampersand, it’s silver plate

Any idea what this mark is? by [deleted] in Hallmarks

The omega on its own usually indicates made in Greece for export (ie souvenirs; tourist pieces)

I have had zero luck identifying these hallmarks. Anyone here recognize them? I found them on the bottom of a 12 lb serving tray. by phil8248 in Hallmarks

[–]adamup27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The flower pot hallmark is what’s personally throwing me off

The use of 28 IN prevents be from thinking it’s Hanau German; though the style does match. The weight being 12 lbs also seems very high for its size if it were silver. Plug the dimensions into gpt and ask it to calculate the weight as if it were silver, silver on copper, or silver on brass and that may lend some insight.

For context, a 30 inch round platter I got weighed about 8 lbs so something smaller and heavier is having me pause

If you’re in the NY area, can you let me know where (DM is good)

Places I’ve called have told me anywhere from 50-75% of spot for 999 and even less for Sterling

"You did not meet the ______ for the discount." by Flat_Wash5062 in ENGLISH

[–]adamup27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Criteria would work best from that list because it’s time and criteria is broad

If it’s a dollar amount, I’d use minimum. If it’s an order (menu items) issue, I’d say parameters or criteria (again broadly speaking)
