<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FunkeysFinds, post: 180973, member: 83&quot;]Those decanters are quite a find!&nbsp;&nbsp; Really special. </p><p><br /></p><p>A couple of months ago it was clear that an estate with great items was donated to a chain TS that I sometimes visit.&nbsp; That particular store is unfortunately far from me and I was only in the area for a short time.&nbsp; One of the things I obtained that visit was this item - a mixed set of vintage and antique flatware.&nbsp;&nbsp; They literally brought it out, I opened it up and never even picked up a piece - I just looked inside and said &#039;I&#039;ll take it&#039;.&nbsp; It was under $30.00.</p><p><br /></p><p>Approx. 3/4 of this is SP and the rest is sterling.&nbsp; The three serving pieces include two antique Christofle Sterling items.&nbsp; There are antique sterling pieces with marks I&#039;ve no clue about and haven&#039;t yet researched.&nbsp; I&#039;ve discovered that mixed in with the SP is the odd piece of sterling, I just haven&#039;t looked at it all yet.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i.frg.im/2fRRXcuz/img20161005132348521.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i.frg.im/nUEJmpes/img20161005132603015.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I did get the full set of antique china from this estate (all pieces, including tureens, etc., 3 boxes full, french (I can&#039;t remember the name and it is in the basement).&nbsp; That set is in NM condition for the age and I don&#039;t believe I found any chips and it appears hardly used. That was under $50.00.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have wondered if glasses and other items were donated and if so, what they were.&nbsp;&nbsp; Must have been exciting for those pickers!&nbsp;&nbsp; I am always very thankful for what I find.&nbsp; I never complain on my bad days... I just go look at the carp I have to go list that I never seem to![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
