It is on what appears to be a pierced berry spoon and it also appears to be sterling (there are no worn places where plating has come off) but I really can't tell unless that wear is apparant or it says sterling, or .925 or something similar. I'd LOVE to have a company name or something so I can investigate further. The piercing is in a lovely design in the bowl. One more thing...... IP: Logged |

Unfortunately, nickel silver does look a lot like sterling when shined. If you compare it directly to a marked piece of sterling, though, you should see a difference in the tone of the color. It is difficult to describe the difference; you have to see it to recognize it. Nickel silver is basically the same as German silver, in terms of the metals in the alloy. Varying the relative compostions results in different colors, with "German silver" usually having a yellow cast and nickel silver a white look. IP: Logged |

I have never seen a mark AR O N.S.. I am summing that AR O N.S. is an abbreviation for Argentum On Nickel Silver in others words Silver Plate. Has anyone seen this before? Who was the manufacturer and from what country? IP: Logged |
