The girls from my office and I went to a rummage sale today. One of the girls bought a tea set for $30.00. It appears to be silver plate but we can’t tell the Hallmark on the bottom. We have gone crazy looking for it online. Can you help? It looks like a crown with 3 shields below it.
Thanks bunches! Sallie and the ladies from McKinney Law
