I hit an estate sale at 10:30am that started at 8 AM. All the Sterling was behind the cashier and priced essentially at melt value. I swung into the other room and They had a table of Crystal and bric-a-brac. I saw these four goblets and picked up the one that was priced at 4 for $35. The others did not have a price. It was marked Rogers silverplate. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1501950816.597983.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1501950659.687724.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1501950673.059855.jpg
Of course a good picker always checks every piece and since I noticed the stems were different on this one and I did just that. This is what I saw on the bottom of the other three. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1501950717.864082.jpg
17 OZT. Someone didn't do their homework at this estate sale company.
