Omega Constellation, 10kt Gold ring and Sterling candle holders

[artslinger]

Hello to all. I scored this omega Constellation with box, manual, warrantee card, and the 10kt ring at one sale, and the Sterling at another. Regarding the Sterling, it indicates "weighted reinforced". I knew that once I read those words that it was not looking good. 😊 Do they still have value as scrap? Not planning on keeping them. They weigh about 1.3 kilos, or about 2 pounds. Thanks to all for your feedback. I appreciate it.

Nice score...my guess is each candle holder has about $25 in silver.

Just be sure to use gloves and wear glasses when scraping...the metal is super thin and razor sharp.

Hit one with a hammer one time and it jumped up and cut my face.

I just scrapped one that looks similar...it was 20g.

I used to always help a friend that has a refinery break these things apart on days I had nothing to do. I had a blood clot randomly and had to go on blood thinners. Cut myself just a tiny little bit with one of them... he thought I was going to die! It kind a looked like I was going to..

I can break these things apart. The knives really suck.

That omega is awesome. The bezels 18 K gold if you did not know that. Probably gold within the bracelet as well! Beautiful watch

Boy you sure find some killer watches.

For Sterling weighted candlesticks you can usually figure the Sterling weight is roughly 10% of the actual weight of the object. Sometimes you find one with a bit thicker silver shell and it end up closer to 15-20% but I use 10% as my guide when deciding whether to buy one or not

This is my most recent tear down. Most did average 10% sterling and 90% krap. A lot of fun buying but a chore tearing down. But I still enjoyed the teardown.

The 2nd photo is my main business brochure. When ever I get any of these I get to tear them down. My recent haul (all free) is two very large old fashioned TVs and three flat screens.
