Hey everyone,
This is the heaviest silver baby's cup I've ever seen. It's 116g. It has the Eagle 25 mark, Sterling 925 Mexico but no makers mark. Little Book of Mexican Silver Hallmarks says Eagle 25 is: Tango Aceves, Kimberly, Gerardo Lopez, ME, Nieman Marcus, Sigfredo Pineda. This is a really nice cup, but I've had no luck figuring out the maker. I bought it from a really wealthy lady who is likely in her 70s. She said it was her baby cup.
I also bought this painting from the same lady. It looks like a legit oil painting and I was hoping it was a Fernando Botero, but it seems it is a high quality reproduction. Never saw something like this before.
This was attached to a cheap pocket knife. Because of this site, I knew it was gold. Popped it off and 2.3g of 10K and what most likely is a diamond.
Finally, I saw some posts about old glasses and if they are gold or not. I bought these a while back. I assumed they gold filled, but they looked cool and where in the original case which has a local address. Acid tested them and they are at least 10K.
Thanks TNET! These finds are from things I learned here.
