<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 4613454, member: 10944"]Well hopefully a buyer does and likes what they find. Otherwise UK silver from that era isn’t overly valuable I don’t think. Good maker, good crest, or rare form. It’s not too rare otherwise I don’t think. Not yet anyways. I think you have to get relatively early into the 18th century in UK silver from the larger cities. I guess some of the cities/halls have a much smaller output and are more collectible. Particularly Scottish and Irish silver, the more collectible English hall/city isn’t popping into my head at the moment. That crest is neat though. I’d pick them up at the right price because I like crests. I like to pay melt or under though when I’m not sure. Stay safe that way and there is often decent stuff available around there. I feel like many of the buyers of not super rare silver at auction are unfortunately scrappers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
