Did i find silver or silver plate?

[NJ Marty]

I don't know hallmarks so I took a gamble on this tray for $1. Also got a Beatles post card for $1. If anyone is good with hallmarks please let me know on my gamble buy.
Thanks

Thanks Don for the info. I should have taken a chance on the other pieces she had in the "all pieces in box $10 total" Darn.

But this appears to be silver plate by the hallmarks. Darn

If that tray is sterling, that's one heck of a payday !

Keep @ it and HH !!

Silver plate, depending on the maker and the object, will sell for a good price sometimes. This would have been one of those times. By the way it's an egg cup holder. If you had the cups and spoons, it would be worth a pretty good penny! Go back and see if she has the rest of it.

Anyone have any idea if its Silverplate or Sterling?

Any idea on this I cannot determine if plate or sterling

I think it would be plate since it does not say sterling or .925. That mark is the Prill Silver company mark.

I was gonna say... The appearance of the item is silver plate, IMO. Really like the Beatles postcard!
