NICE HALLMARKED SILVER BOWL~BIRMINGHAM 1932~85+ GRMS

THIS BOWL HAS SOME ADDED SILVER TO IT........STRANGE, BUT TRUE? I HAVE SEEN THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE PAST......A SOLID SILVER ITEM HAS BEEN SILVER-PLATED. IT MUST HAVE SLIPPED PAST INSPECTION. WHAT HAPPENS THE PLATED SILVER ADHERES WELL TO THE GENUINE SILVER, BUT LATER MIGHT FLAKE. THIS ONE HAS A FEW RAISED BUBBLES OF ADDED SILVER ON IT. HALLMARKS SLIGHTLY OBSCURED AS A RESULT, BUT HALLMARK IS STILL BARELY LEDGIBLE....MAKERS I&F ANCHOR, LION AND CAPITAL H FOR BIRMINGHAM 1932. NICE WEIGHT OF APPROXIMATELY 85-90 GRMS. BOWL IS IN GOOD CONDITION, SOME LIGHT SURFACE SCUFFS HERE AND THERE, SOME REMOVABLE TARNISH ON THE BASE RIM.....HARDLY VISIBLE INSCRIPTION FOR PAUL ON THE SIDE, PERHAPS ONCE A CHRISTENING CHILDS BOWL?........COULD BE USED FOR SUGAR, POU POURI ETC. MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 11,5CM WIDE X 5CM HIGH.
