Silver creamer and sugar bowl

Hi everyone. Any worth to this?

 

Israel,Freeman and son ,silver plate I would think. I think that stand was for something else. Silverplate is practically worthless unless its some famous designer.

 

Cute setup, but I doubt there's any value there. As Johnny said, silverplate has almost no value unless it's complete, and in *VERY* good condition. And old. So you can imagine how often that happens...

When I worked in charity shops, silverplate sold for cents a piece, and would sit for months.

 

Looks as if it is designed for hotel or cafe use, the waiter could bring all three items at once with a couple of fingers of one hand. Possibly also carrying a teapot and hot water jug.

Think practical. Minimalvalue though.

 

Hi Larry,
If you see silverplate allot, you can study the marks for Old Sheffield plate. Many people collect that.

Some of their marks can be found here.

 

Actual Sheffield Plate would be an awesome find. But it will look nothing like electroplated wares (which are about all any of us in the US are likely to see in this lifetime.) I have seen entirely too many people assume that if the word "Sheffield" appears in the mark on a piece of silverplate that it must be the holy grail.

 

Old Sheffield plate is almost invariably found with enough wear to show the underlying copper somewhere. Little silver electroplate, and none recently, was plated on copper so there is a chance an item with copper showing just may be OSP. Like most things this is a clue, not a rule.
What is a rule is that 'a lot' is two words despite casual usage as 'alot' or even 'allot'.

 

Sorry if my grammar and encouragement is irritating.

 

I've been known to write alot....and be irritating ......
& I'm still here......so don't think twice about it !

 

Thank you all for your replies. I so look forward to the day when you tell me that I "hit the jackpot".

 

Keep posing nice stuff..........one never knows.....do one ? !!!
