I just got this in the mail today. In the pictures it doesn't look that old, but when I opened the box there is some really nice toning from purples to some reds. It also has some verdigris (which is the greenish- blue mold looking substance) in some small spots. Would someone be able to make a guess at how old something like this was? If it doesn't pertain to precious metals enough please take down. But, since the metal weight is almost 2lbs I bought it for scrap price! I would love to find out more about this piece if anyone can help!
UPDATE************************************* Went to a local high end Pawn Shop in town right after I drop my kid off and it passed the silver test in two different spot's and he said he had no doubts that it is real sterling. The women told me if I unhooked it from the box bottom I might find a makers mark because of how heavy it is. The gentlemen also told me it has to be after the 1920's because it was cast not forged. He said he has never seen anything quite like it and could not guess the origin of where it was made.

Is there anything that would give you that hunch (other then the price)? Do you see something in one of the photo's?
This is a picture underneath the umbrella. Question is any other metal that is not magnetic tone the way silver does?
not same but similar
completely different

Each of these linked items are quite different, but stylistically they have similar characteristics.
Perhaps an email with pictures attached sent to these sellers would garner some info for you.
The one distinct difference to note between your piece and these, is on the linked items all the hallmarks are in chinese characters not numerical. But that may just be a time period difference.
Good Luck.

It looks very detailed and well made,,,,,
even if it turns out not to be .925 silver I would not be that dissappointed if it were mine.
the sooner people learn,
that everything can be stated and written perfectly to be perceived as true,
but an outright lie, the better off they would be...
I don't trust 'em. For good reason.

Good luck... Cheers, RickO
If anyone would like to see it a little more up close it is the worst video ever!

This high end guy or his wife never found a "mark" but guessed it might be there if you take the piece apart? And not finding a mark still proclaimed the piece to be silver, oh yea the spectrometer...
Interesting piece on the unwillingness to possibly acknowledge a bad buy though and exhaust all avenues in determining a final exact content, especially when bought based on one...
