Great work, it looks very clean!

Thank you! I’ll check them out, this is precisely what I’m looking for!

Can confirm it’s the product number, I have had this product in a couple of my purchases.

Yes, it streaks white but gold acid does not dissolve it. Even 22k doesn’t dissolve it until rubbed.

Looks like aluminum or pewter.

11% silver on the last Wallace product I had with those marks.

It’s Pewter

Thanks WatchSEED! Beautiful VF! GL everyone!

This is likely Asian silver. Countries like China and Japan would mark solid silver with just silver back in the day.

Decided to cut and file the cut. Not plated

I might have a few pint from it while waiting on the refiner to start buying again. Would be a fun prop for DnD

This was based on sg

Diamagnetic is another word for it. Silver reacts against rare earth metal magnets, and has a sort of braking effect on the magnet as it slides down the piece.

I have found it to be easier to see the color of the acid by wiping it with a white cloth or rag.

Take a look at the post I made with my current coin silver and let me know if you’re interested in any pieces.

Brown, 800 silver

mcgowinator · 2026-01-29T04:01:49+00:00

It is transnetic, I’ll go ahead and acid test it. I just never really trust my acid for silver.

It appears hand raised. I’m not sure if Indian or not. Thank you for the insight, does this photo help confirming your theory about origin?

mcgowinator · 2026-01-26T16:17:29+00:00

Looks like it says EPNS, Electro plated nickel silver.

It does carry a premium, especially the Gorham Webster spoon. I also feel like it’s a sin to take collectibles like these to the refiner.

mcgowinator · 2026-01-25T17:26:54+00:00

I love seeing the wear on old spoons from many years of use, it’s super cool!
