It's a tray kind of thing that weighs about three pounds. It's priced at $8. Is this real silver? Thanks! -Golf

It has got to be plated I would think since it was made in the USA and not marked .925 or sterling. Also 3 lbs of sterling would be very high end and I don't think the number inscribed on the bottom looks very high end either.

If it doesn't say .925 or Sterling, it is likely not the real deal.
