Right. 900 and 800.
Some of them are probably worth over scrap too. Some if them have a good resell.

The spoon marked 800 is probably 80% silver, the spoon marked 90 is plated.

I had a spoon marked 90 and it was plated copper

I bought a tea kettle once that was marked 800. Wasnt silver, after i bought it i looked it up n it was just the model number

That would be why I said probably.
