Silver Identification Instructions

Try Our Visual Identification Tool

 Have you tried our Identification Tool? 

Our Identification Tool didn't find your silver-flatware pattern? Let our experts help. Follow these step-by-step instructions and our team of researchers will help you solve the mystery.

  1. Upload an image of both the front and back of a fork or spoon. Photographs, photocopies, sketches or scans are also acceptable if they are of high quality.   On occasion, we may need to ask for a clearer image.

  2. If photocopying silver, please make sure the copier isn’t set too dark, it makes the pattern difficult for us to see.

  3. Include a close-up image of the trademark and any other information shown on the back of the piece along with a length measurement in inches.  Need help with the silver mark?  Click here for silver trademark examples.

  4. If known, indicate the approximate age and product type (stainless, silverplate, or sterling).
