Some info on "Sterling Top".

So with it saying Sterling Top it is plated. Sterling would look the same on all sides and back.

Says Sterling on the side of it and what's your detector telling you?

Make a paste of baking soda and water, scrub with a toothbrush. If it has no "pops" or corrosion showing through, then it is silver. If it shows corrosion, it is brass or copper that has been plated. The plating wears off and the less than noble metal corrodes.

Hope that helps. GL brother!
