Please Help Identifying Silver Plate

19 years ago

Hello. I am trying to find out information on this plate that was my grandparents. It comes in a presentation box with Santa winking. It has the word "Tannenbaum" on front, also on front might be the mark. On back it has H.M. Inc. .999 F.S. #30 1975. To me it looks like a combination of silver and pewter, when I tap it it actaully sounds like tin. Any help in identifying it would be greatly appreciated.

It looks like one of those alloy plates...Armetal is one and there are others. They are alloys of aluminum copper, nickle and who knows what else. Yours was obviously made by HM company...but I don't know what that stands for. I suspect it was some sort of an annual Christmas edition thing and this was from 1975.
Companies did this for orginazations etc as a fundraiser. My little town of 15,000 had one commissioned with an image of the court house years ago....sold out....and now they are bringing well more than the $20 they cost originally....at least in this town!
Any clues knowing where your grandparents lived in 75?
