Thrift store Silver!!!

[Mvgirl]

I was looking through the silver plated spoons at a thrift store not expecting to find anything because I never do. Well. Bingo. Don't know a ton about silver spoons but %99 percent sure this is sterling!!! Can anyone varify for me? What stuck out is that it's not rainbowy colored like most plates, the markings look old, and it doesn't have 'plate' on it. Would it have value beyond the silver?

Nice find. I've found that a fair amount of silver that is not marked with the word "sterling" that ends up being donated to many thrift stores is being overlooked and then considered to be silver plate and priced as such.

Yah ill be on the lookout now for sure. Got this for a $1 hidden in a tray of silver plated ones. Was only half heartly looking cuz all I even find is plated. Will be more diligent in searching them now!
