Not "true" silver, but a very nice pewter tea set nonetheless.
It belonged to my in-laws who were married during the Great Depression
and this was a nice substitution for a "real" silver tea set.
The tray is quite warped ....... I think it ended up in my

Silver, pewter, copper, brass, . . . I tend to think all the metals each have thier own special appeal. Aren't you the lucky one to have this set from your in-laws. The monogram is lovely! Happy Silver Sunday!
