Antique silver mark
« on: December 16, 2013, 08:23:13 pm »
I picked this up tonight at Goodwill for $1.99.  I thought it was a tin frame.  I looked more closely when I got home and found it is silver on wood (2 separate pieces).  Can someone help me with the mark?  Maybe Gorham silver?  Trying to find age and value?  Sell or keep for a bit value wise?  Continental style?

I'm having a hard time seeing your frame.  Can you please take another picture in "natural" sunlight?  Maybe the pictures will show up better!

(In Florida and the internet isn't really great where I am...plus the reflection on the frame!) 

Maybe someone else can chip in!

the pics open up well and i get a good close up shot ..yes, i see JD WD then an Anchor, then Lion then a small g....which would indicate its silver,..but what is confusing is the copper tones that are showing through on the left just above the mark..which is indicative of it being silver plate on copper..

I think that's my flash.  I am working on the tarnish.  But I did find it here http://www.rubylane.com/item/598821-L1631/Art-Nouveau-English-Silver-Antique.  Mine also has the number code.

 ;D ;D  I would need list from many if I won that pot.  It is way too much money for one person to have.
