how much is an eagle stamp sterling silver bowl worth?
You need to give a little more info. Depends on what the stamp looks like (who made it), the time period, and whether or not it's really sterling..dents, scratches, etc. Post pics and more info. and I might be able to tell you. Sterling of course is worth more than silver plate and more collectible as well.
: $5.95
If a bowl is marked "sterling," does that mean the entire bowl is sterling silver?
I just came across a silver serving dish that is marked "sterling" on the bottom. The inside of the bowl has tarnish that looks consistent with silver, but what I was wondering is if by being marked "sterling" does that mean that the entire bowl is sterling or just that the bowl contains sterling?
If the bowl appears to be all silver, then I'd say that it's probably all sterling. This can get a little complicated with jewelry, where some parts might be sterling and others silver plate, but with a plain silver bowl I think it's pretty straightforward: it sounds like a sterling bowl.
Are there any other marks on the bottom of the bowl? Often antique sterling will have "hallmarks" stamped on it, indicating the maker, the place it came from, and the year it was made. These are typically animal shapes, sometimes an anchor, and often a letter indicating the date. If the bowl has those marks, it's sterling and you might be able to learn more about it by searching "silver hallmarks" and doing some research.
Sterling silver is actually not pure silver. It's an alloy, usually being 92.5% silver and the rest usually copper. (Some sterling pieces are stamped "925" for identification.) Other percentages were common in past times and some other countries. Pure silver is just too soft to use, so it needs another metal added to make it stronger.
Anyhow, if your bowl says "sterling," I think the likelihood is that the whole thing is sterling.
Hope this helps!
Can you J.B.weld a sterling silver bowl to bricks ?
My dumb dog tips the dry food over and barks at the bowl , wasting food daily ?
I would think it would work just fine. Scratch up the bottom of the bowl with a wire brush or some sandpaper for grip first.
Where can I buy silver polish?
I'm looking to polish a sterling silver bowl and vase that are tarnished. I was thinking Target might have it...but I didn't want to take a trip out there to find out they didn't carry it.
Grocery stores, Walmart
One brand name I use is Wrights Silver Polish.
I also use tooth paste.
Another alternative is to put some aluminum foil in bathtub with some powdered laundry detergent (like Tide) and enough water to cover your bowl. Just leave it in there until you see the tarnish disappear. Then rinse and dry the bowl with warm water.
Where can you get the soft flannel no-tarnish cloth covers in which to store sterling silver trays, bowls, etc
Have you tried bed bath & beyond? Or go to a higher end retail store like bloomingdales & look for them in the housewares dept or in the fine china & silverware dept. At the very least get some cheap flannel shirts & sew a few up for yourself (like a pillow case), put the silver in & wrap it up, not fancy but it works.
What is a shallow silver bowl with two handles and two spouts used for?
Early 20th century sterling silver

how can you tell if an item is silver or sterling silver?
the item in question is a reed & barton bowl.
Your bowl should have a stamps pressed into it (a hallmark) Sterling silver is silver that is mixed an alloy like copper to make it stronger as pure silver is really soft. The hallmark will tell you the purity -for example, if it has a 925 stamp it means i is 92.5% pure silver. The bowl should also have a hallmark of the manufacturer - look for one like the reed & barton one on the following page.http://www.asyoulikeitsilvershop.com/hallmark.php
