small sterling round thing

I got this also yesterday, only reads sterling on base side. Clear lined thing feels like plastic, any ideas on what this was used for ?

Thank You

 

Just tested the clear part, it's glass .

 

It's a coaster, Billy. Would have been part of a set. When I find 'em, I scrap 'em.

Okay cool, Thank You Debora.

 

I generally scrap them too, especially the molded glass ones. They're no good for much else.

 

Dang, okay . I guess I'll start doing the same, good idea, Thank You

 

Whoa......yer market may be different.....1st find out what scrap is worth...then see if you have a good dealer near you who will pay top dollar......then ..if you can get more for it...whole.....consider that !!!

 

In my experience of silverware, small little trinket pieces like this just do not sell. I've seen them sit around in antiques shops for years and decades and just gathering dust. Little dishes, little baskets, little bowls, little this, little that...nobody wants them. And if they do, then they don't wanna pay a lot of money for them.

If you're buying this stuff, then you better be buying it for yourself, because the chances of selling it off are variable, to say the least.

 

yes....well said....
but he's neither in Australia...nor has an antique shop.....

As a trade item or flea market item in his area...he may do better than melt weight..

 

Sorry.

 

It's worth a shot. Melt is all those trinket pieces go for near me ... if you can get melt. Jewelry does better.
