Try a search for “dogbone” with no user name. I found this right off.

Your example are a type of silver mica, not the "dog bone" style. There are thin sheets of mica plated with silver, stacked and clampled on both ends. No other precious metals.

if the mica plates are as gray as in the photo, then there is no silver, it is tin.
The silver plates should shine brightly
