Hello from the USA. Thank you for allowing me to join this forum.
I have acquired two silver trays. I am trying to trace the year of manufacture, history, value and material makeup of these pieces. I believe they were made by William Adams by the hallmark. (see pictures below) according to what I have found but have hit a wall after that. Both are marked England. I have had one of them tested for silver but the "expert" was unable to determine the material. This tray measures 22 - 1/2" long (handle to handle) by 8 -1/2" wide. It weighs 72.9 ozt. Any additional information is greatly appreciated.
