So, didn't know this thread existed but here is a chatteau rose Sterling spoon that was taped shut in a glass jar, some are selling on eBay for around 100. The Nassau set is a Sterling souvenir from that area. The choker necklace I am not sure about. It is NOT plated and I'm fairly certain it is Sterling. I have no idea about the time period. The.markings are ass good as it gets, no better image possible.

The choker is probably Mexican sterling, nice piece. The hyphenated bit is a two letter city/region code and a two number code that represents the silversmith.
 

That's a very worn Taxco Mexico Sterling mark on that choker. I had two and one broke in half as i was examining it for listing. Scrapped it. The other sold for just under $1 a gram (my goal is no less than $1.3/gram right now). These are not very popular styles of jewelry but start at about $1.5/gram (ie, price it at 1.5x its weight in grams) and put best offer on it. By the way, it's mainly called a "Bib" necklace.

That's awesome, honestly I never thought I would figure out exactly what and where it was from. Thank you. I tried the thrift shop thing a few times over a year ago...maybe I should get back at it.

Thank you both for the great info.
