First silver in a while, along with a question

[rastinirv]

Howdy. I dug this up today. Thought at first it was a bracelet but given its size I think maybe it went on the arm. I'm a fairly big guy and it would not stay on my wrist. If you have any ideas, let me know.

Another unusual thing is its marking, which is simply "SILVER". Not Sterling, not .925, not Coin Silver, but just Silver. Anybody know what purity it might be and/or how old it might be?

Thanks muchly!

I like the "SILVER" stamp. They weren't messing around with tricky marks.

Congrats on the SILVER

Still not sure what the heck it is, though.

It's TREASURE! Nice find!

I have seen something like that on peoples arms. If its to big for your wrist, I would think its an armband piece. It does look silver, but I have never seen a piece just say silver. Its like you said, usually its "sterling" , .925 , or other numbers.

The font used on SILVER does not look old to me... but the item does. It’s a nice find, hopefully someone more knowledgeable than I can provide more info.

Congrats and good luck.

It looks like an upper arm band/cuff for ladies. I don't know if your find is that old, but these were very popular with ladies doing the Charleston during the Roaring 20's.
Congratulations

Silver over brass I would say I can some green on it but a very cool find congrats....

I think ATW nailed it on this one. Here is another "Flapper" sterling arm band from the age of Great Gatsby...

Beautiful find, whatever it is.
The only target I have found so far with the word silver and no other marks came from England.
