I just came in from a HUGE auction with some silver pieces.

1. Reed & Barton (Italy)mark on an art deco comb holder (I believe you just slip a comb in the holder?) The comb is present and the mark is on the silver part of the holder.
2. Towle Sterling Silver mark on what looks like a small blusher brush (I think the bristles are sable)
3. Fingernail file that also reads Towle Sterling
4. A very HEAVY (boars bristle) brush also silver, but no markings that I can locate
5. A very HEAVY hand mirror also silver, but no no markings. The brush and the mirror have the very same silver pattern as the blusher brush.

Also, I found what appears to be a silver plate Art Deco cup with that
reads "BABY" in an Art Deco kind of font the markings on that read
within a crest shape... the letter J then a stamp of a Crown and then within a crest shape the letter G then below that RSPC in a block then the numbers #490. I did a little research online and I think maybe the BABY cup is silver plate? I went on-line but found nothing on the BABY cup....

Anyone out there know anything about silver plate markings or sterling silver?

Any info please let me know-Thank you ladies-
