What is a Meriden B Company serving dish stamped with 1849 made from?

In: Antiques [Edit categories]

Answer:

From what I understand, it is silver, yet of a lower grade such as nickel silver. It was refed to often as 'blackened silver', or something similar. Whatever you do if you hope to sell it - do not remover the tarnish.
