You have a few nice pices of sterling there. I would think several of them would sell for more than melt value. Are any of them signed pieces?

The sterling stick pin says "Austin College". The only piece that has a stamp is the silver bracelet laying against the red background, with the other one on top. In addition to being stamped Mexico and 925, it has a "T-J-?", with the last letter being either a "U or O".
