Description

This Silver gravy boat was given to us at our wedding by our aunt in Argentina. She said it had been in the family for a while but I do not know how long. Because the silver is tarnished I assume it is made out of real silver, rather than plated with silver. It's quite heavy for its shape and size.

Generally silver will have some mark to indicate the purity of the metal used. Most countries have their own way of marking silver, but generally a numeric mark is used, such as "925" ( Sterling is 92.5% pure silver), 900 ( 90% pure) or 800 ( 80% pure). Check your piece all over, if there is no mark you will have to get it tested to determine its silver content before finding out its value.
