    Just out of curiosity why wouldn't the use of the term "nickel
    silver" be considered fraud? Have jewelers managed to get a law
    passed that, for example, allows chicken kept for days plus at 26
    degrees Fahrenheit to be sold labeled "fresh, never frozen." 

    I know what nickel is and I know what sliver is and I even know what
    sterling silver is. But if something is actually nickel and someone
    tells "the public" it's nickel silver is not the general public going
    to be inclined to believe it's more akin to sterling silver than
    plain nickel?
