@madferu Nina, I found this on the net "Apply a very small amount of warmed French's brand yellow mustard to the surface of the silver. If it turns blackish, it's silver. " I think I might try that on a silver plated object to see if it turned blackish, too.
I think the metal base for silver plate is usually metals that will not attract a magnet.
