Silver score at the thrift store today

[Turbo21]

Was waiting for another person at work and hit a gw store in a bad area. I actually have had a few good finds here before. And today did not disappoint either

Not sure what any of pieces are used for so any help would be appreciated

The punch ladle is not marked any where I can see. But is heavy enough to be silver. Need to test it when I get home. Each piece was marked 1.99

I have gotten an Id on the strainer

It is a Wallace baroque over cup tea strainer it weighs in at 2 oz
Replacements.com. Has 1 listed at $399
But looks like realistic ebay values are $100+

Awesome to find so much silver. Hope you don't decide to just sell it for melt - it is way too beautiful.

Amazing that people still don't know to look closely at the markings on their stuff. Good for you!

Nice score. Those pieces look very ornate.

 

[UnderMiner]

Neat!

Sweet! Like I always say, if you can't dig the ground - dig the thrift stores! I love that one piece marked "800" it's a nice example of mainland European silver, maybe German or Italian.

Excellent finds.

And you didn't need a Silver Bug Pro for that... Lol....nice finds

 

[Turbo21]

Thanks everyone. I sold the wallace tea strainer on eBay last night for $150. So $148 profit on that one lol

 

[deershed]

Sweet finds!! I guess there's no chance of a group pic since you already made a propfit selling one already.
