Just curious because I know we have so many collectors who contribute to these boards. Anyone here know anything about silver? I'm trying to figure out the maker and year on a teapot.
Any info/insight appreciated

Until someone knowledgeable chimes in, you might take a look at this website:

There is also a forum for this subject, with an interface similar to the one here.

Seems like it might be Jensen/LaPaglia mark, and I do believe it is American. As to the question, what's it worth? Well it weighs just over a lb, which converts into 13 oz and change of pure silver. That's assuming it has no collectible value. Well, it's almost team time here

Marc - There are hundreds os sterling marks on silver. I will send your images over to our Silver expert and get back to you. I knew something was calling me to the forum today.
