I picked this very nice sterling silver plate up at my local Goodwill store a little over a year ago. The engraved initials appear to read, "DRMN" if i'm not mistaken. It's diameter measures 10" across and has a 1" depth. It weighs 7.6 ounces and is marked Sterling on the back and there is no hallmarks.
It shows some wear and a few light dings, but overall a beautiful piece in my opinion, and currently displayed on of my fireplace mantles. I rarely stop at Goodwill, but after viewing all Bellin68's amazing finds, I feel like heading there now : )
As a pleasure picker with little knowledge I feel I should hit Help button with every post, so any additional information would be appreciated.
