Could this possibly be silver? it's marked CHP B4 or BA
« on: October 30, 2011, 08:03:25 pm »
This is shiny like silver and it has nice weight to it.  It's marked on the bottom CHP B4 or BA.  Could this possibly be a makers mark?  It's 1 1/2 inches tall and I'm unable to find any information on this mark.  Any information would be greatly appreciated, thank you

Don't believe so....looks like one that is described as silvertone or one  like Alpacca, etc.

Very interesting that your first two pics have a gold tone to them!

Cute owl figurine.  Doesn't appear to be silver; probably silvertone, pewter, or another mixed alloy.

I thought it might be pewter but it doesn't state pewter on it just the marks I asked about, thank you for your information
