About the Item
German silver salver with the text "A friend in need is a friend indeed"
A rectangular Chippendale-style silver salver, fineness 800/000, with contouring and a weaving rim. The hallmarks have faded, but the first is likely the Swiss import hallmark of an edelweiss, used for silver since 1917, and a hallmark depicting a rearing horse. This is likely the hallmark of Gebruder Kuhn, Phorzheim, Germany, founded in 1860. The hallmark 800 indicates a purity of 800/000 silver. The silver hallmark "crescent and crown" is not present, so it may be from before 1888, as this hallmark became mandatory in Germany in 1888.
The inscription on the plate reads: "A friend in need is a friend indeed."
"A friend in need is a friend indeed" is a proverb meaning that a true friend shows up in difficult times, when someone needs help or support. The fact is that friendship is tested not only in good times, but especially in adversity.
The measurement is 1 cm high, 23,5 cm wide and the depth is 15,5 cm
The weight is 268 grams
