Hi All...how is everyone!!!
I have a silver Art deco mirror. After doing this for years, I should know...but I think this piece is unmarked Silver. Problem...can't find a Hallmark. Does it mean anything if it won't attract a magnet?

Where'd everyone go????

Hi everyone. I purchased this brooch from an Estate over the weekend. I have reason to believe it’s quite old. As you will see by the photos I’ll post, it has condition issues. I would love some input on this…ID or any knowledge of the hallmark on the back. The piece is approx an inch in size, so the photos were quite difficult…this is the best I can do. As always, I sincerely appreciate your help ~ Nina

OH my Gosh! I think I actually found it!

Oooops...here's the pictures:

Hello Everyone...Hope all is well. I more recently have been revving uo my Ebay site and have been lucky enough to fine some really good Estate sales and such. I'm kind of excited for some new things I picked up today that include a boxed Silver Fish Set. I'm not quite sure if it's Silver Plate or sterling, but am having trouble with the ID. I think the hallmark reads "H B & H (star)". I've been looking through references for awhile now and and we have company stopping in for a Nascar/Oscar gathering (Talk about 2 extreme interests!) and I'm so anxious to see who made this. haven't cleaned it as yet. What's the current trend...polish or not? Help - Nina
