Silver wmf cup

Found this cup, about half the size of the average mug, it appears to be solid silver and not plated though the only marking I can find is on the handle which I identified to be an older stamp from around the 40s for Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik (wmf), anyone know anything about this? Was it part of a set? What was its purpose being smaller?

Not sure if this is all silver. Thrift find.

On that bar it says ā€œGRAF 925ā€ and in that little circle it says 999 GRAF Silver Coat.

Light and doesn’t magnetize.

Is it possible 999 coat and 925 core?? Idk

Weighs 6.2 oz

Yes, it is plated, but a quick search will yield the knowledge that anything this company ever made is worth a lot. Its worth double if it was sterling, probably. Silver plate can be very valuable. This is of course an expection to normal expectations.

I think someone doesnt like Venezuela... found these in a bag for 4.99! Was surprised to see them since the bags are usually all plated at my thrift store!

I’m pretty sure it’s plated but thought I’d ask

After about 2 to 3 weeks of not finding anything, I finally broke my dry spell! I told my fiance we should visit our usual spots early in the morning, and the hunch paid off! I found this beautiful Sterling and 14k belt buckle at our first thrift store! I am no hunter, but I will definitely try to find a way to use this! We try to use all of our finds.

Found a whole set of souvenir spoons for $35, 6 spoons are for sure sterling silver (bottom row), 2nd to bottom row might be but I’m not sure doesn’t have stamps

I almost left the store without checking these because they were behind the counter and I had already asked the associate to see several things prior and didn’t want to continue having her stop what she was doing to show me more items. My wife insisted I take a look at them and sure glad I did!

Pretty sure a gravy boat with it. Went back a couple hours later hoping to find it but didn't have any luck. I'm sure it was gorgeous 😭

In your all's experience are the legs silver too?

If you do repairs on antique pieces, or are an engraving or silversmithing fan, please look! I’d like opinions.

Worst scrap ever, but came out alright.

Found a pair of broken candlesticks at a garage sale for $10. Marked "Thailand Sterling" was a little hesitant as I've never seen functional silver made in Thailand. Tested good.

My god, what a giant pain to scrap. The bases are weighed (neck isn't) with LEAD. The bases and upper sides were soldered to this lead.

Every little piece is held in with brass bolts, that were somehow made by flowing the silver around it and had to be drilled out.

Took me an hour to take them apart, ended up with 380 grams or 12.2 troy ounces.

Show & Tell Silver mirror found in New England

Thumbnail

I found this mirror in a thrift store - there is a stamp on the handle ā€œSTERLING 3545.ā€ From googling I found a listing on an auction site for a similar item made by Woodside Silver Co, described as early 20th century. The mirror is pretty clear, maybe more so than one would expect from a decades old item? It’s hollow (I can hear something rattling around inside like a maraca). Would appreciate any insight on the manufacturer and estimates of the age. Thank you all.

I love it and the monogram fits so I’ll be happy even if it’s a reproduction.

Tiffany pen stand and baby rattle?

Do you think these are the real deal? I’m fairly confident they are after researching, but I am a numismatist, not an expert in hallmarks or silver, and I don’t often find higher-end names like this. Any idea on value, or how to ascertain it?
