<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2308292, member: 19250&quot;]I do understand&nbsp; what&nbsp; you&nbsp; are&nbsp; saying&nbsp; about being a tag on an item.&nbsp; However&nbsp; it don&#039;t&nbsp; make sense as if you had an silver vase. You would want it marked by the hallmarks showing&nbsp; it&#039;s . 925 made by a known silver&nbsp; smith. Rather run the risk of the hallmarks stamped on another tag like that could be removed and destroy&nbsp; any and all value to the vase.</p><p>Now what I am referring&nbsp; to is this....there no doubt&nbsp; if you own a silver vase you know it&#039;s silver. Not stamped with the hallmarks no one knows the fineness, or maker. The difference between a scrap .925 spoon from an old silver service set, and a old scrap spoon made by Revere,could be tens of thousands&nbsp; of&nbsp; dollars in value.</p><p>over the years I have seen hallmarks in all sizes, on all types of&nbsp; items. Snuff boxes, silver watch cases, tea pots, you name it.</p><p>All were stamped into the item no matter size or value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
