This has 51925 stamped on it. It looks like a good find from details on line but what can you guys tell me?

The 925 at the end of the number might mean it’s sterling. Looks to be gold plated.

Post a few high resolution images of ALL markings that may indicate either manufacturer, model, or purity.

I have sincere doubts on it being sterling due to green areas that appear to be corrosion of copper. That may, of course, may be the result of lighting.

51925 may be something as simple as a model of id number if five unbroken digits.

Time for more coffee.

The seller called it out as Sterling.

I don't have any way to post hi res images here.

That eBay link's pics are super dark :(

Do you know how many troy ounces this weighs?

Please note that ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- sometimes substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) as well.

It weighs 111.2g or 3.575163toz. It's looking to be worth the $20 I paid for it!

I put it in "silver bath" and it cleaned up. It is apparently a "kiddush" cup.
