Antique store find c.1920 Sterling Tea Ball Teapot & A Sterling Compote.

I was visiting a small town last week and found these in an antique shop. The sterling teapot strainer I paid $3 for. It is c. 1920, I looked on ebay and some other sites and I should be able to get around $70 for it. The sterling compote I'm not sure about. It doesn't have any makers marks so I'm not sure about it. If anyone knows please let me know.

That is a cute little teapot strainer! I would have paid $3 in a second for that. Nice Finds!!!

Thanks guys. I'm back in the neighborhood again this week and the same shop has an ad in the local paper that they are doing a 3 estate inside yard sale there until it's all gone. I noticed everything there was really cheap last week. I'll hit it again when they open and see if I can score again.
