How do i know the difference between silver and silverplate?
One way to tell the difference between silver and silverplate is to look for a hallmark or stamp that indicates the metal content. Silver will typically be marked with a number such as "925" or "Sterling," indicating that it is real silver, while silverplate will often be marked with terms like "EPNS" (Electro Plated Nickel Silver) or "A1." Additionally, silverplate will generally have a layer of another metal, such as nickel or copper, underneath the thin silver coating.

A tray I have is non-magnetic which makes me think it is sterling silver. How do you determine if something is silver plated or sterling silver?
In the US, sterling silver will ALWAYS be hallmarked with the word "sterling" or "925." Silver plated will never be hallmarked. Anything plated with a precious metal, no matter how thick the plating, will never be hallmarked.Neither sterling nor silverplate is magnetic, unless the plating is over a steel or iron core, which is rarely the case.

What is the Value of Barbour SP Co silver serving tray?
Price is dependent on many variables and opinions vary. It depends on who made the tray, the tray's age, size, provenance of the tray, condition, desirability of the design, and whether the tray is a step above the common silver-plated tray (what embellishments does it have). Trays that have STERLING SILVER mounts are higher quality and the price would be affected by the amount of sterling added to the tray. Sterling mounts could refer to the trim around the edges (rope border), feet, handles, knobs and other decoration. A large, heavy, clean, vintage tray by a good maker with sterling mounts, in a well advertised auction where interested buyers know the item is at auction could bring $450+ compared to a solid silver tray of the same size which goes for thousands. In a retail shop in a good location, a large beautiful tray with sterling mounts could retail for more than the auction price.

WM A Rogers AA heavy Oneida LTD. Is it silver or stainless steel?
I have a full set of WM A. Rogers AA heavy Oneida LTD. Flatware... It says on the back of the knives "STAINLESS". I hope this answers your question. I have a similar set of flatware and the "Stainless" on the knife means the blade is stainless. However, the handle and other parts of set could be stainless or silverplate. WM A Rogers did mostly silver plated flatware, not sterling silver. If it tarnishes it is most likely silver-plated.
