This is beautiful! It almost looks Russian - but don't take my word. I know next to nothing about silver.

2 08:51 AM ET 5 12:00 PM ET 6 01:15 PM ET 7 Debi Raitz 02:47 PM ET 8 03:01 PM ET 9 Susie P 03:54 PM ET Thanks Susie - and Jane I did think Russia myself or Italy - the stamp on the spoon is bad and I can't find any on the salt... Well - You just started and topped the Heavy Metal month - Out standing!!!! That is a real beauty. Why don't you post the picture of the marks here and maybe we can scan through the silver website and see if we can find a match. Thanks Ladies--- Debi - I tried - but it didn't work - I have to wait and try by day-light (but they are bad) Okay, all metal? No glass inserts? Just trying to get the hang of it, LOL! Page 2 of :44 PM ET My Peruvian coin salt 11 04:53 PM ET Brass double 12 04:57 PM ET 13 Susie P 05:37 PM ET Coin double with 2 llama spoons

Someday will worry about inserts... Love the doggies! #15 reminds me - I sold one of those once through the mail. As soon as the woman got it, she called me and gave me all kinds of hell because the rest of the dogs were missing. There were supposed to be dogs all around the base. I told her look in your H&J. Only two. She sure was mad! 19 06:51 PM ET 20 This set isn't mine. I just wish it was.

4 06:58 PM ET Page 4 of Debi Raitz 08:40 PM ET Dragon boat. The paddles move because they are loosely fastened on the side of the boat. I think we would have quite a few silver and/or metal salts without liners that we didn't need to include those. That could be a topic all by itself. 22 Debi Raitz 08:42 PM ET Sterling salt with golf clubs. 23 Debi Raitz 08:47 PM ET Short sterling pedestal with old mesh style golf ball inside says Mexico City Country Club. 24 Debi Raitz 08:50 PM ET Sterling Oriental shoes. 25 Debi Raitz 08:52 PM ET Silver plated is marked Pairpoint.

I got these at a small museum show in Honolulu years ago. 37 C Villaverde :33 PM ET Chinese enamel over brass. 38 C Villaverde :34 PM ET 39 C Villaverde :37 PM ET Silver Native American S&P with spoon, unmarked. I think that's it for me. I don't do metal except for art glass stands and ones too cute to resist. That last category is flexible :50 PM ET 41 C Villaverde :17 PM ET I like/love your Native American My salt is in 830 silver and I don't know anything.... Well,, anything marked around 800 silver is probably European, but I'm afraid that doesn't narrow it down much.

8 02:45 PM ET Page 8 of 36 German Salz und Pfepper :46 PM ET 44 C Villaverde :40 PM ET Danish "Just" Wow! Is that Danish vessel life sized,? I've always loved these Norse ships, have had various pewter ones, but presently just the silver and silver plated ones I posted. There is a salt collector who posted a long series of them somewhere a while back, but I can't remember her name. She had a site where she posted all her pictures :20 AM ET 46 Debi Raitz :51 AM ET 47 "The Salty Nut"... P.J :50 PM ET - I do also remember her - think I "talked" about JUST with her One more JUST - this in normal pewter - the other was "Disco-metal" There was a collector named Terri and her website is still linked on the Collections page. I had tried to her several times years ago but there never was any response. I don't know if I ever knew what her last name was. But now we have Lea who I'm pretty sure has an amazing amount of Viking ships.
