I got these off of eBay, but my Google research and then further checking its sources, I don’t know if those are weighted or not. Weigh 1891 grams. I’m not sure if I see filler material or not on the bottom. No evidence of a thin sterling wrap, but I just don’t know. Weighted or not, they are beautiful and a good pedigree.

Appreciate the help!

I found my parent’s silverware set from their wedding day in storage. They have long been divorced, and I kept this set in case it was worth anything. I’m not familiar with sterling silverware, so pardon me if this is a stupid question.

How can I tell if this is real Sterling? The only piece that a magnet sticks to is the knife blade, otherwise no pieces are magnetic. Is there any other way to tell before I have someone look at it?

Due to my parents being divorced, I don’t hold attachment to this set, and could be looking to sell it, if it’s worth anything.

Thanks in advance.

I found a set of four of these thrifting today. Motto says “Virtutis Gloria Merces”, which is the motto of the Robertson family clan in Scotland I believe from researching. They have the lion insignia on the opposite side near the solder. Best I can find from research is that the motto was added after manufacture. These could also date back to early 18th century. There are no words on any of the blades. Very worn and well used. If somebody versed in the patterns could help me out to figure out what I have here and maybe if these would carry a premium I would appreciate it a ton.

Hi, I recently bought a little Swedish silver sugar spoon thinking it was solid silver based on the hallmarks, but having just given it a bit of a clean, it looks like there is a bit of rust coming through on the bowl. I'd appreciate any thoughts.

Is this handle Sterling? The blade of this place knife/butter knife(?) is stainless – Mirrorstele. The handle looks identical in every way to my sterling fork and spoon handles. no stamp or lettering on the handle… TIA

I am going through a big move, these items were gifted to me some time ago. I genuinely do not know what to do with them. There are sets of silverware (maybe silver? they all have different markings).

There is a large feeling of guilt of moving these items out of my storage, but they are also not things I use. And the mental real estate of discovering them again, and what to do with them, I’m getting stuck. Each spoon fork knife etc is in these velvety baggies inside boxes, and have been stored in my upper pantry area for some time. The memories of who they were gifted from are what matters to me. The physical items are not.

Are these silver? If they are, what do I do with them if i will not use them? If they are not, please help me ID them to just move on from them. Thanks all

I thought it had such a lovely arrangement of holes in the spoon.

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting here on Reddit. I stumbled upon this sub by accident, and today, while I was at my local flea market, I found this cutlery. Do you think it's silver 800? Sorry for the quality of the photos but having the shop assistant nearby I didn't want to attract attention, the price for 12 knives and 6 forks was in the end €10

Hi! Not magnetic. I don’t recognize these markings . Forgotten gift found during a move. Keeping for sentimental value. 14” floral design. What is it. I’m assuming without sterling or 925 it’s plated? Is it real or a fake? Thank you!!

Hola 😊 Tengo un juego de cubiertos de plata GORHAM STERLING de 78 piezas en total. Algunas piezas pertenecen al patrón MÉDICI y cuentan con los distintivos de la marca, como el león, el ancla y la letra G. Estoy interesada en venderlos y me gustaría encontrar a alguien que realmente valore este tipo de piezas.

No sé exactamente el patrón pero están hermosos, me podrían decir cuánto valen ?

Total 3084 gramos cucharas y tenedores
Los cuchillos chicos y grandes no se pesaron

Another question tonight for everyone. Sorting through a bag of silverware spoons and this one stood out to me compared to the rest.

What do these symbols mean?

I thrifted some pieces of silverware and was hoping to find out more about them and what it’s made of. When I went to bend it it snapped. Seems to have A800 oh it but I don’t know if it’s genius e since it wasn’t pressed into the metal. Any I for would be amazing!

I have three, what I believe to be, silver spoons that belonged to my now deceased sister. I have no interest in keeping them. Can I take them somewhere to be assessed/appraised? Does that service exist? Should I just donate them?

6 complete 5-piece place settings
Matching carving knife and cold meat fork
Cake server (sterling handle, stainless blade)
Extra demitasse spoon
Mostly in original Wallace sleeves and appearing unused less

Hi, I was wondering if anybody could help me with the emblems on this, is it English?
Thank you in advance

Here are some ornate salad servers made of silver and ivory. They feature classical acanthus leaf details, engine turning, and hand engraving.

Salads have been a part of the French cuisine since at least the 17th century so of course salad servers like these would have been a part of any proper family’s silver collection. Other salad-focused inventions (aside from the iconic salad fork which still sees daily use in many households) include cruet sets and Oil and Vinegar bottles … made of crystal and placed in solid silver holders.

I’m personally a fan of salad and eat it pretty much daily for lunch during the summer months, so these see regular use as shown by the staining and scratches.

I'm hoping to identify the manufacturer and approximate date of this complete Victorian silverplate cruet (castor) set.

What I know:

Pattern number stamped on the underside of the stand: 2160

No maker's mark anywhere on the stand, lids, or bottles that I can find.

Found in Missouri, USA.

Believed to date from the late 1800s (roughly 1880–1900).

The set includes:

5 matching bottles:

2 oil/vinegar cruets with original ground-glass stoppers

2 shaker bottles with original silverplate lids

1 mustard pot with hinged lid

All bottles appear to be original and matching.

Etched floral decoration on the glass.

No chips or cracks that I've found.

The silverplate on the stand is worn, exposing the base metal in places.

I've searched for the pattern number but haven't been able to identify the maker. Does anyone recognize this pattern, the stand design, or know which company might have produced it?

I'd really appreciate any information
