Question by Steelman: How do I identify silver by physically looking at it?
I have a piece of hand crafted metalware, but don’t know what type of metal it is. Can’t identify the makers mark.

Looks like crome but with a yellow sheen, and can have green tarnish. Will turn black as well.

Unfortunately, the author knows more than your average expert. When you correct someone and tell them it is a cramped joint not a dovetailed joint down the side of that pot, it’s rough when he can site books considered tops in the field stating the contrary. Still the items shown are unique, the content informative and I am glad to have this book in my collection.
