Very nice!

That is very cool. Did you pay silver or plate for it?

As I'm sure you've discovered: Williams Ltd, Birmingham,1907.

Great piece!

You guys are good! Indeed, 1907 which is pretty cool over 110 years old!

I paid $35 and tax! Weighed it, 284 grams!
And, best of all, it still works!

Great price for that Asheland! I rarely find any nice sterling, but when I do it is ridiculously priced. I’d like to display some nice pieces in our dining room.

They vary greatly, some are sterling, some silver plate, of the sterling examples, some are lightweight, some are heavy.
Get a heavy, sterling one... You won't regret it.
