Goodwill Auction was pretty decent today

[Drmad7]

I went to the auction to bid on the usual jewelry jars...they only had one and it did not look great and had no bids. They lowered the opening bid to $30 and I was the only bidder. Several costume pieces but at least a nice Weiss Rhinestone butterfly. There was a not a large crowd gathered and I just bid on stuff because no one else was interested and the bids were mostly below $20. Bought an 1847 Rogers Bros silverplate set because it had a nice box and it was only $15.00! They said there was more pieces in the bottom drawer but nobody cared. When I got home, I opened the bottom drawer and found the silverplated serving set and more...

And then...?

And the bottom drawer...





That is Julius Lemor coin silver if my research skills are decent, although I don't know what this "spoon" is called. Also, that is 12 matching spoons! They are 22 grams each and the large spoon is about 87g or so. If anyone has any further info, I'd appreciate it. I only bought this box because of stuff I have learned here on TNET!!!

Nice surprise find! Not really "coin silver" though. The term coin silver is typically used to describe silver pieces made in America from melted silver (foreign and domestic) coins. The German standard for silver is/was .800

Thanks Diggummup! I was waiting to hear your expertise. Now I'm researching to find out the value beyond melt that this particular pattern has (although it is monogrammed and hurts value). No info on Replacements.com!

That is defineatly a nice surprise! Great score! good Luck!

 

[Lost&Found]

Nice surprise and find. Sometimes the monogram makes the piece more valuable

Possibly your pieces were a war souvenir.

Other items I bought was a Longaberger basket with small souviner spoons for $10.00. The folks had mixed up spoons from another lot and placed some in the longaberger basket. I got it home and there was a cloth with these pieces...

The basket...

 

[Drmad7]

The pieces are silverplate but sell for a decent price in eBay. I'll shoot for $100!

Hi

I believe your silverplate pattern is Eternally Yours from 1941
