<p>[QUOTE="Barbara W. Preston, post: 1943705, member: 13943"]Gee, I am so new at this that I do not know what I would do. But, 1.) I would certainly have a second look if I found them in a yard sale or estate sale; 2.) I would look up the marks on the cup and the pitcher and be tempted to buy it all just because I love the pitcher and if it is not valuable as a silver piece (marked 925 or more) I'd use it as a vase; 3.) I do not see any wear on the silver bowls of the three spoons, so I would think they are sterling; 4.) the salad tong look modern like the ones I have; and 5.) those tongs, due to the size do not look like sugar tongs, but look so flimsy that that may be all the could pick up and I do not like the large bend that would make the handle close before you could pick up anything but a finger sandwich made with a fat croissant. Yes, I would buy the lot of them for $40.00.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
