Thrift store silver find!!!

[theekman]

This is my first real thrift store find. A new store opened up pretty close to my house so I've been going there at least once a week for a few months now. But today I went in and found this... Paid a whopping $3.99. It weighs 445 grams.

Nice find, finding sterling at thrift stores below melt has become a rarity for me.

Up until yesterday thats all i found.

I found a Rogers tea kettle which i knew was a silver plate company for the most part. But the kettle was marked 800 so i took a chance. Turns out it was just the model number of the kettle!!! Haha i was a bit ticked.
