Can't believe I got this for $2 bucks at a auction... they bundled it with 2 other silver plated items. Getting it for this cheap almost makes me feel like its fake or something cause it sounds too good to be true. It doesn't stick to a magnet, it has some dark spots. it weighs 457.8g, 14.7 troy ounces! I just left after getting this, was there less than an hour lol

Huge score ! Kinda looks like an offering plate for church , but I've only ever seen them in brass - perhaps it is related to the altar and the
eucharist ? definitely has that ecclesiastical feel - The Gorham catalogue could be helpful here -since you have a serial no.
