Great item, was a glass jar with contents, well packaged, with a fragile label attached, arrived no problems. A near perfect example of a 50s/60s Hopkin and Williams chemical bottle. The postage was fair, the item was as described and a good value, especially with contents.

I am absolutely delighted with this item. It arrived by post quicker than I expected. It was very well packaged up and I will add it to my ever growing collection..I spent quite a while deciding whether to add this [item] to it. it is exactly as you described.

Understanding silver doesn’t require a degree in metallurgy. With a little knowledge of hallmarks and materials, you can quickly determine whether an item is decorative, collectible, or intrinsically valuable.

A Collector’s Guide to Hallmarks, Value & Spotting White Metal

Silver has been treasured for centuries. From Georgian tea services to Art Deco cigarette cases, antique silver pieces continue to attract collectors, decorators, and investors alike.

But if you’ve ever picked up a silver item at a market or auction, you may have wondered:

Is it solid silver or plated?

Does it have a hallmark?

How do you calculate the value?

Understanding silver doesn’t require a degree in metallurgy. With a little knowledge of hallmarks and materials, you can quickly determine whether an item is decorative, collectible, or intrinsically valuable.

Let’s explore how.
