International Silver is, as far as I can tell, a brand owned by the Lifetime Sterling company, and is sterling silver, which is real silver but not pure silver.
99.99% of the time it is Plated, once again it is not silver. the only flatware that is made of silver will say on it somewhere STERLING
Shakespeare was a shareholder in the company which owned the Globe Theatre and other assets. There are records of his investments in land and real estate in the Stratford and London areas after he become wealthy.
Holmes and Edwards silverware is not made of solid silver but rather is typically silver-plated. The company was known for producing high-quality silver-plated flatware, often made of stainless steel with a thin layer of silver. While it may have the appearance of real silver, it does not have the same intrinsic value as solid silver items.
Deep Silver was offered by International Silver during the 1960s. Patterns in Deep Silver were more expensive than regular silver-plated flatware, yet less expensive than sterling. The company promoted Deep Silver as having a heavy plating combined with a bar of sterling at the places the utensils rested on the table. In other words, the buyer did not have to worry about a loss of silver on the back of a fork or spoon where it rested on the table as that spot was reinforced with a small bar of sterling silver. Typically, that spot is the first place that begins to show wear. At some point (1970s?) the company stopped making Deep Silver but continued some of the same patterns in regular silver-plate. My set of Deep Silver is almost fifty years old and shows no loss of plating.
Yes, Oneida Community products, particularly their flatware and serving pieces, are made from real silver. The company originally produced silver-plated items, but they also offered sterling silver products. Oneida's sterling silver is composed of 92.5% silver and is marked accordingly. Always check for the appropriate markings to ensure authenticity.
you can tell it's real by the silver. If its real silver it is real. Get it?? I hope that helped you.
Yes, what little silver is in (or on) the coin is real silver.
The 1865 Rogers Manufacturing Company, known for its silver-plated flatware, primarily produced items made from base metals coated with silver rather than solid silver. The "triple" marking indicates that the piece is silver-plated and typically signifies a thicker layer of silver compared to standard plating. Therefore, items marked as "triple" are not considered real silver, but rather silver-plated goods. If you're looking for solid silver, you'll need to look for items marked with ".925" or "sterling."
Regent silver is typically not real silver but rather silver-plated. It consists of a base metal coated with a thin layer of silver to give it the appearance of real silver while being more affordable.
If the piece is stamped "sterling," or "925," then it is real sterling. If it's stamped "IS," the initials stand for "International Silver" Company, an American company founded in 1898 from a conglomeration of smaller companies that specialized in silver plated tableware. IS, or International Silver, only has a thin (.20 mm) layer of sterling silver over a base metal core. It has no melt value.
