PAIRPOINT

      P

This item polished up very nicely was more grey looking and i bought it for 1$ at a garage sale

 

I CHECKED EBAY AND ETSY

- only saw pairpoint items that all had different markings on the bottom

 

 

 

Question is

-What is this thing?

-Is it silverplated?

-ia this item pre 1900s?

Your piece is silver plated, anything that is solid silver will be marked "Sterling" or it's numerical equivelent "925" ( 92.5 % pure silver) . Pairpoint operated as an original company from 1880 until 1958 . This looks like it was once part of something else, the top part missing.
