hi to everyone! let me apologise in advance for any dropped 'o's, i have a sticky key and don't always remember to read to catch them.
i don
t see much activity on the jewelry or antique boards and so am hping some of you might know something about silver. i have two heavily patinaed small trays that i don't even remember buying, neither of them have any marks at all on them. a magnet is not attracted to either one of them and they are 'embossed'(?). if they were handmade i would say they are repousse but they are nt handmade so i think they would be called embossed. i do not have anything to test silver with but am thinking silve they are old enough nt to have marks as to metal content they might be really old and maybe sterling. does anyone have any ideas on another way to test without buying chemicals or taking them somewhere?
