<p>[QUOTE="Marko, post: 771927, member: 210"]KSW, nice score on the silverware, whether sterling and/or plated. I have been into collecting the silverplate (because I never find sterling.) Yesterday I got two pieces for a quarter in one of your patterns above (the v-shaped at the end one.) I have fun looking up the patterns. I am storing them in one drawer, chests I pick up cheap, and a Rubbermaid bin. There is a huge demand here for the forks, the hardest to find, because artisans use them to make bracelets and watchbands. I recently picked up almost a whole set with chest for $5 at a yard sale and another for $8 with chest at a thrift store. My personal pattern is the Navy Kings pattern; my uncle gave me his set with the fouled anchors and USN engraved on each piece. They are hard to find, so I supplement the set with regular Kings pattern. I love the antique engraving on yours; you can't get this kind of engraving anymore.... sadly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
