Waylander Posts: 131 Registered: Sep 2004	posted 01-08-2008 07:18 AM [01-2617] Dear all Please find following pictures of a napkin ring I picked up about a year ago. While there are not any traditional sterling markings (well, as far as I am aware!) it certainly appears to be silver. Any idea as to history? I reckon North America / early 20th century? The marks are a Queens head, a Crown and "SS". Thanks in advance Waylander IP: Logged

I'm sure others on the Forum will be better able than I, but I thought I'd take a stab at it. Enjoy the Day. Jersey IP: Logged

I have checked the above book - such a mark not found. I do think though that Schlank is a possibility, and think that a check with members of the Silver Society of Australia in Sydney at one of their meetings may help. Good luck and let us know if you have any success. [This message has been edited by adelapt (edited 01-10-2008).] IP: Logged
