[QUOTE="RickN, post: 4386454, member: 8854"] From the daughters stuff she had picked up at garage sales and stuff is a gold picture frame that is very heavy for it's size, and a silver tea pot and butter dish that I think might be silver. I know newer silver (1880s on) will be marked if sterling but this is not marked at all. I heard somewhere that silver plate has a bitter almond smell but this smells sweet. None of the stuff is magnetic. I am just wondering if anyone knows a sure way to tell if it is real or plated? [/QUOTE]
