Here are several pictures of this item:

This pitcher is in excellent condition and appears to be made of sterling silver.  Please note the maker's mark on the underside of the lid.  Also, the patent # on the bottoms dates this item to the 1860s.

Also, be sure to see the picture of the paper that accompanies this item.  I can read arabic, assuming that's what language this is in.

Thanks so much for any help in identifying and putting a value on this.

Best,

Chad

 I wish to sell a nearly complete set of Gorham Old Colony 1896 sterling flatware in original three-layer lined handmade oak display case.  Service for eight with extra flatware, specialty pieces, and a wide variety of serving pieces. More than 150 pieces in all.   I have a receipt from Gorham Co date 1911 when a few additional pieces were added.  Condition is very good.  A few light scratches from normal wear can easily be buffed out. 

 i have been in posession of this article for 7 yrs ..it was given to me by holy name staff as it was there for so so many yrs ....does anyone know more about these types of work 

1937 or 1938 glass dip pen, made in japan label floating in a yellow liquid inside, all one piece with glass writing tip.

This is a song printed in the Boston Sunday Advertiser Green Magazine on Jan 11, 1942.  On one side is the song Remember Pearl Harbor written by Don Reid and Sammy Kaye. On the back of the newspaper is half of an article showing map of Pacific Ocean with location of ships, naval & army bases, etc. One caption says, "Warships, planes, tanks in astrological numbers are the prime requisites of the United States' plan to crush Japan. This map shows the broad strategy of the United Nations."

 This may have been a wedding present to my parents (1959) or it may have belonged to my grandmother I am not sure. There are 3 additional saucers but only 1 cup and saucer. 

The painting on these is beautiful and the colors are vibrant. Looks like some gold leaf but I do not have the expertise to be sure. The scene is 2 elaborately dressed geishas with an arched bridger and some buildings in the background. No  written symbol - just some Japanese characters in gold paint on an orange rectangle. The mark on the teacup seems to be different from tha mark on the saucer.  Some of the paint looks to be worn off of the saucer where the geisha on the left is holding her fan.
