Weighted silver, which makers are collectible?

[namster]

I just got into buying silver items at rummage sales and find a whole lot of weighted sterling. To save space I plan on stripping them but I don't want to destroy something collectible.

I gather that the pieces must either be in perfect condition, or a rare maker for them to be worth more than melt. Could someone let me know which are the rare ones?

This is weekend I found two short candle holder sets, one by Empire and the other by Duchin Creation.

If you can get a good deal I'd buy ones that are only worth about melt
