New need help! Sterling silver bowl over 25ozt Real?

 

[Magicd1]

Already scratched tested very deep and acid tested passes test. Just do not know if I should cut all the way through?

Might be worth more as a solid piece rather than as scrap. Looks real to me, nice find!

Lookup the makers mark

 

[Zodiacdiverdave]

Nice piece, I don't think I would be melting that down.
ZDD

Markings look to be genuine, can't make out your year mark, 1880-1920 or so.
how did you 'find' it?

 

[John_Deere]

Beautiful sterling silver , how did you get it ?

 

[jerseyben]

No need to scratch it. The hallmarks tell you all you need to know. Don't hurt it's value with destructive tests.

 

[John Boy]

Boy that's a chuck of silver there.I don't believe I would melt it down neither.

 

[Mzjavert]

Spectacular!

Very lovely simple classic style, so if you're selling it, could no doubt get more selling to a collector of fine silver than meltdown. CONGRATS! Andi
