That's what keeps the garage sale hunter going. You never know what you are going to find.

Gotta love yard sales. I too picked up a Revere piece. Only, it was an original Paul Revere Jr made tablespoon, circa 1800. Paid roughly $5 (bundled with other Colonial era coin silver pieces). Auction estimate is between $12k to $15k. I find silver at yard sales, thrift shops and junk piles all the time, but this was by far my best find.

That's very cool! I collect early American coin silver and it's a goal (and dream) of mine to find a true Revere piece. I've heard a story that someone found a Revere piece at Brimfield for pretty cheap.

If you happen to see a Revere piece and Paul isn't on it, remember his father was also a silversmith....
