Picked up a couple of sterling pieces at a local thrift yesterday. First is a child’s porridge bowl:

I couldn’t find any maker’s mark but it did weigh in at just under 3.5 troy ounces.

Second item was an antique English silver salt spoon:

Weight is 0.60 troy ounces. Marks indicate it is from 1806. I believe maker’s mark indicates the manufacturer was William Eley I and William Fearn per:

Eley family, silversmiths in London

Glad to see there's still some silver out there to be found. It's always neat to find the 200+ year old silver. I've come by a few pieces that old.
