thank you all very much for your help.  I suppose I can safely give it away now without losing any sleep.

Thanks for your replies!

hmmm, yes, when I look closely in the engraved areas, I do see that copper/brass colour very faintly.  Where would I get that tested?

thanks very much for the quick reply!  I've re-inspected it, and there are definitely no words or numbers stamped on it anywhere.  Hmmm... I guess I'm out of luck?

I have one of those old heavy silver brushes that my grandma used to have as a set (with mirror, jewelry box, etc).  It has a pattern stamped into it, but no writing anywhere.  Is it worth anything?  Anyone know how to find out what kind it is?  thanks!
