Before the invention of stainless steel, sterling silver and silver plated items were found in every home. Silver plated picture frames and other decorative items are still popular gifts.

There are several steps involved in identifying antique silverware and flatware:

1. Examine your silver for hallmarks. If the piece is marked “sterling” or “925” it is sterling silver. You will also note a symbol that represents the manufacturer of the piece.
2. Use a silver hallmark guide, such as the online encyclopaedia hhtp://www.925-1000.com/ which shows the hallmarks that identify the manufacturer of the piece.
3. Examine all the patterns made by this manufacturer and match one to your piece. If the piece is more than 50 years old, it qualifies as an antique piece.
