nautilusjv Posts: 253 Registered: Nov 2008	posted 10-04-2017 01:23 PM Hi everyone! Any thoughts on this slight wacky coffee set- 3 pieces with a round tray? The set is in a vaguely Federal style, but then it strangely has a hammered surface. They 4 pieces are only marked "sterling 925/1000". Not bad quality and the pieces do have some good weight. Could this set been sold at a department store or jewelry store? Thanks! IP: Logged
