Silverware at the local Antique Mall

[Silvertick]

Hit the local antique mall and came away with 3.3 lbs of silverware for $122.00. The hallmarks are on the inside of the spoons and not the underside of the handles...

Take a look. This is only a portion. I will post more later...

I'm trying to get an upclose picture of the hallmarks because I cannot find anything like them.

Lastly, I've been doing very well at the local Goodwill...Seriously, I'm in Maryland and a recent story from Easton, MD stated that someone dopped off a painting at the local Goodwill there. Someone spotted it and thought it might be worth something so they had it appraised...SOLD! Auctioned off at Sotheby's in NY for $40,000...

That's a great find
With the Great Recession, I bet a lot more treasures are going to be turning up at thrift shops, antique shops flea markets etc

I just added another picture. Like I said not sure what the hallmarks are...

A hunt is still a hunt... At times no metal detector is required. You should find out the true worth of the collection. Congrats and HH

Nice find. I too have been doing that, except I haven't had near as much luck as you have. I went through like 150 pieces at goodwill a few weeks ago and found 5, but hey...at 40 cents each you can't beat it.

So this is all marked sterling? If so, that's quite a haul. Tons of plated stuff out there, I don't come across sterling as often as I used to.

The one side says Felix Freme and the other looks like a 9....90%?
