The piece of silver I took, is very unusual. I know it was hand made by an English Silveresmith, in Eygpt in 1890. If I could figure out how to post a photo, I'd put one here

Its about 12' tall, with three kneeling camels, palm trees behind them, support an engraved bowl. Mom used it as a fruit bowl aInd we children called it "Hump Three - humphrey" . I might contact Antiques Roadshow. Thanks for your input. Sandra
