Can someone please tell me about this tray. I think it may be silver. This is all it says 4903 and the initials and a hand on it. I would appreciate any input. It is very heavy, no magnets stick to it and should I clean it or does it lower the value. Thank you so much. :)
It might be a bird not a hand. Not sure. Thanks:)
Is there any value to this tray?
Hello shellyC111. Welcome to CW! Thanks for posting your tray. In fact your tray is silver plated. It is made by Forbes Silver Co. Founded in 1894 as a division of the famous Meridien Britannia Co. You can match the hallmarks here:

Silver plated items are not usually worth much, but can have collectible value, and family history value. But in terms of silver, there is no value. If a magnet ever sticks to an item, it is a not a precious metal (gold, silver, platinum, or palladium). Thanks again!
BHock is right, sorry :(
How much do you think I could get on this tray on EBAY?
That's your job to find out, you'll have to check eBay's completed listings, same way we do it
Ok thanks
