Some GENERAL information about the silver we are listing:

• FYI: it is not unusual for sterling charms to be unmarked from this era: many charms came unmarked on display sales cards that had the maker and metal info; as well as jewelry items under a certain weight did not have to be hallmarked.

• FYI: Purity marks for older silver pieces can differ from those commonly seen today. Sterling Silver Jewelry up until the 1940s era was often stamped “STER” or “STG” as well as “STERLING”. The “925” and “STERLING” mark has been continuously used throughout the years.

• FYI: Rhodium is in the Platinum family of metals.
 It was often used in the 50s-70s to plate sterling silver to avoid tarnishing,
 In the Rhodium plating process, 925 Sterling Silver is given a nickel underplate prior to Rhodium plating. The nickel is magnetic and causes the magnetic attraction.

FYI: Sterling: .925 silver European Silver: .800 or .835 or .900 silver

Whether new or used, we have made every attempt to note any flaws in our sales, butmay miss something.

We ask you to understand that even if we missed something in the description, you are still getting aBARGAINcompared to buying retail, soYOUmay need to have the garment cleaned, get a button replaced, stitch where threads have come loose, whatever...

Many can be worn as they are, but would benefit from a pressing or cleaning at winner\'s discretion -- especially worn garments, or even if clothing in new \"store\" condition, since they have been folded wrapped and packed.

In any event, NO exchanges or returns,

Gramma used to say \"When in doubt, dont!\"
