Thanks for all the awesome responses guys!
Heres the pictures, let me know if you need better ones, or just want to know what the markings say, but Im pretty sure I posted the markings on the first post.

If it's not revere anyone have an idea what it is?
She said someone followed her like it was something important.
Is plated silver ever worth any money though? I looked up plated gold pocket watches a while ago and it was nothing compared to solid.

Thanks!

Antique Questions Forum / Paul revere teapot?

Hi. My aunt calls me up out of the blue today and says she thinks she has a paul revere teapot.

She bought it (why is she just thinking about it now??) about 30 years ago in a thrift shop. She said a guy was following her around the whole time and when she checked it out he asked her "you do know what youre buying dont you?" To which she responded "of course."
Secretly she had no idea. I dont know why she didn't just ask him. If she did, I wouldnt have to be on this wild goose chase right now.

She thinks it's paul revere because she bought it in PEN.


Im just looking for either some general clues. Any website I can go to?



All we know is it is coated silver, something, probably brass or copper, is coming through underneath.
It has the number 41 under the lid and 198 under the pot.

I can put up more pics if needed. She sent me 111 pics. It took forever to download.
