[Jewelry making - Article 01029] - [Orchid] Test For Sterling Silver

    A lady came into my store the other day with an old teapot that
    belonged to her grandmother.  I don't deal in antique silver, but I
    wanted to at least tell her if it was solid sterling silver or not. 
    It "looked" like silver.  There was a manufacturer's name on the
    bottom but nothing like "925" or "sterling".  Any suggestions?  (I
    use acids to test for gold). Thanks in advance.
