Siam Sterling

[cmthunder]

In Cecil County Md at 1694 farm. Slow day but moved to a new field and hit Conestoga Bell and small buttons then got a loud great signal and was amazed at the images staring at me when dug the Siam Sterling lighter.

That is a super cool lighter! The bell is fantastic! Congratulations on all your finds. Wish I could help, but no idea here on a lot of the items. Thanks for posting and sharing!

Excellent !

Pretty nice find. I would imagine some American GI would've purchased that while on R&R in a place like Bangkok, so he could put the guts of a Zippo in it.

That is an amazing lighter

Nice lighter. Although Siam formally changed its name to "Thailand" on 24 June 1939, you can't rely on that distinction for jewellery or other silver pieces. They carried on using marks such as "Siam Silver" and "Siam Sterling" through to the 1980s as a generic... particularly for that kind of decorative repoussé work.

It will nevertheless be to the sterling standard of .925 (or better).

Thanks for the added detail as always Red-Coat!
