I made a trip to the thrift store(actually 4 different stores) this morning. Absolutely nothing at all of them! Well, except the last one.
Where I found this bag with a bunch of silverware.
Took a look at it. I saw a lot of silver plated stuff. But then I saw a knife that looked pretty promising, but it had foreign marks and I wasn’t sure about it. I ended up leaving and going home without buying it.
I posted about it earlier today to see if someone might have knowledge about the marks, and sure enough a kind person commented and let me know that it was indeed a silver handled knife from 1928.
So I ended up going back and buying the bag. It was $8 after taxes.
I went home and opened the bag just happy to have the one silver, only to be surprised by a large sterling fork, and a small sugar sized sterling spoon as well. (There’s also another knife that looks like it has a silver handle, but has no writing on it).
SCORE!!!!!!!!!
The rest is silver plated forks/spoons, with a couple collectible spoons.
There’s also one that intrigues me. In the first picture, it’s on the top right corner. It’s darker in color, definitely not silver.
It has a man and a woman on the top, on the top side of the spoon is also some sort of 4 legged animal, the face of a woman?, also there’s a pelican?, and possibly a snake?
On the back side it has what looks like a girl with long pigtails, as well as the number 92 underneath. Very interesting piece, but I know nothing about it, lol.
Any info is appreciated.
