<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 2751350, member: 36"]I like it even better when they can't read hallmarks. At that estate sale on Friday, one lady got a tea set for $180. The tray was alas plated, as was the hot water samovar, but the teapot and cream jug and another piece had London and Sheffield marks. Estate sale runner had NO clue. Of course the person buying them had no idea what a Sheffield mark was as opposed to Sheffield plate, but... I told her. (LOL) I'm still rubbish at date marks though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
