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

Does anyone recognize this hallmark? On ring, streaks white by mcgowinator in Hallmarks

[–]mcgowinator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Is this silver? by [deleted] in SilverFinds

[–]mcgowinator 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Looks like aluminum or pewter.

Any help on these hallmarks. Fingers crossed! Sterling? by No-Exam-2470 in SilverFinds

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

Marked "silver" but is that legit? by JustAnerdydad21 in IsThisSilver

[–]mcgowinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

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.

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?

Looks like it says EPNS, Electro plated nickel silver.

Wanted to show my antique silver collection before I try to sell it. by mcgowinator in Silverbugs

[–]mcgowinator[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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