I was looking around for what I have, and found this. Ending pretty soon, but seems to be WAY below melt. What do you think? Anyone know enough about this to know if it really is sterling like they say? If so, BID!!!

I bet they are all weighted, most of these items generally have very thin silver, the bottom has a filler like clay. Which is probably most of the weight, no way to know for sure.

Yep, my guess is silver plated too.
