My wife and I recently purchased some
siver items. One in partiular, has a
partially torn sticker on the bottom
that reads "sons of Liberty Bowl" by
PAUL REVERE. The only thing else
that can be read is "repr" and
"oneida". I have not a clue as to
what I am looking at or what I should
be looking for!. Oh Yes I should
mention that on the inside of the
bowl, it has a red colored inlay
finish. Can anyone give me an idea
what I have or somewhere I can go on
line to find this information.
Thanks

Welcome to the forums. It sounds like you have a silver plate reproduction of a "Revere Bowl" made by Oneida Silversmiths.

The original "Liberty Bowl", is in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. The shape of the Liberty Bowl has inspired many reproductions, called "Revere Bowls" which are often engraved as gifts or presentation pieces.

I am not sure of what you mean by "red colored inlay finish" but I suspect you are looking at the base metal (most likely copper) where the silver plate has been polished/worn away.

I do recall seeing these bowls with the interior of the bowls finished in various colors as well as silverplated.
