Is Wilcox silver real?
Yes, Wilcox silver is real. However, most pieces crafted by the American silversmith are silver plate, rather than solid sterling. Silver plate consists of a base metal topped off with a thin layer of genuine silver. Wilcox was a major producer of silver plate during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
