I came across this piece and nobody around my town can provide more detailed info or any type of value. The marking in the bottom is a cross with the letter H, F, J, Co in the arms and around the cross it says Hero Deep Plate. I know the company produced glass jars and the logo was used late 1800- early 1900s also know that they did produce silver plated items but I cannot find anything anywhere like the piece I have. It's definitely a one of a kind piece I would love to know more history on this piece and would love to know some toe of a value. Thanks!

Hey
Hola salsa,
When last we spoke, http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/what/366232-h-f-j-co-within-cross-markings.html, it was wobbly. I think it being silver plate, and with the condition issues, you'd be hard pressed to sell it, unless you happened on a generous "steam punk" person. Otherwise, depending on the base metal, somewhere between $1.40- $2.50 per pound at ye olde scrapyard. http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/scrap-metals/319161-silver-plate-scraping.html
