Estate sale goblets

[theekman]

Found 2 Lord Saybrook international sterling goblets marked $110 each but picket them up for 100 for the pair, one is still in original wrapping.








Haven't weighed them yet but a website with the same ones said they weigh about 184 grams a piece.

Also got a bunch of sandpaper at the same sale for a $1!

Nice buys. Thanks for sharing...

That's a nice find. They date to the 1950's I believe. You could double your money now on them or put them away for the future when silver rises again. Yes, I said when it rises, not if lol.

I was going to sell one to make my money back, but im not hurting right now so ill just hold on to both of them till silver goes up. Plus you feel like a boss drinking out of a goblet.
I polished them up

The melt on sterling is about $.57 a gram. When I buy sterling, I try to pay no more than $.50 a gram. I'd say you did AMAZING!

How do you keep your sterling? I have a big cookie jar. Whenever I find some sterling that is not good enough for Ebay, I just throw it into the jar. When it is big enough and heavy enough for me to send it off to be melted, I box it up and ship it out (at least that is my plan, I've not gotten enough yet). I am guessing I have between 2000 and 3000 grams of silver on hand... WOW. That's a lot of money. that is not counting the silver coins I have.... I just bought $100 face silver from my father for 11 times face (He was going to take 10 times from the local coin shop, so I stepped in).

I melted the last bit i had The crappy looking one. I had a .999 round n cut off a piece to make sure it was .925. Probably harder to sell but was fun making. I wont nelt the goblets, the bar i made was just weighted scrap over a few months
