Little silver

Found this the other day. Never really looked at it until today. Think its old silver from the design what do you guys think

I guess its not magnetic? The opal is nice. I think if it were old, lost silver all the plating would've been toast. Still a nice piece though.

Is it marked? Old silver is usually marked sterling. New is 925.

Nice save

Good info scuba
Marked 925
When did they start stamping 925?

The 925 stamp on sterling silver indicates that a piece is 92.5 percent pure silver. Silversmiths in England and France began stamping-sterling silver objects with this purity indicator in the 14th century. The mark became a requirement in the United States in 1906.

That's ones been down awhile, nice save!
