    3 Forks for a dollar

    Usually, I don't do good with silverware, but today at goodwill, I think I got a score. I'm not good with hallmarks, but just from the weight of the pieces, I could tell they were silver. Each one over an ounce, so I think I did well. I don't think they hallmark silverplate

    Are the magnetic ? silver is not. I'm thinking they are good and you made a nice score but I would take them to a jeweler to be positive.

    Actually, they do. Need close ups of the hallmarks to ID.
