The item is a silver tea pot with a crescent moon shaped hallmark and the words "Cresent Silver Mfg". Under that is stamped "351/33". On the bottom in black marker is "1906 earthquake and fire". Inside is a hand written note that states, "1906 April 18, 1906 earthquake + fire Mrs. Rosscamp" on one side and "This tea pot was in the San Frisco fire ask the girls what year that was. My dad's sister lived there then and gave it to Fritzie she gave it to me. All the silver was burned off of it." on the other side.
The tea pot has no dents but does look as if it was in a fire. The lid hinge is in great condition. Cleaned the bottom a little to read hallmark and it cleaned nicely. However the body of the tea pot does look more scorched. Can't attach pictures at this time, but it a very traditional style without a whole lot of ornamentation.
Did a little research on Crescent Silver Mfg and found it was started in 1922, which negates the note. However, still very curious.
