Found a small grab bag and two old 4 pennyweight silver forks today. They wouldn't sell me the forks because they didn't have a price on them. Why are they on the shelf for sale if they are not for sale? So then I left with just the grab bag...

The tiny dish also has a M in a unicorn hallmark on it for the Mauser Manufacturing Company in New York, active 1887-1903. The awesome letter opener i really like, and is marked made in holland 90.

I think the 90 is a mark for plated though.

Yes the pitcher is sheffield plate, the chalice only says genuine pewter tho, but is a close match in style to the sheffield.

80 and 90 is German period marking for plate using 800 or 900 silver, Overall though nice finds.
