<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MrNate, post: 1692094, member: 5515&quot;]A quick post tonight, because I honestly get concerned that I sound like a broken record on the forum. Just a friendly reminder so anyone doesn&#039;t think I&#039;m the luckiest son of a gun on the planet (I will admit I&#039;m pretty lucky)....I search a LOT. I look at <u>hundreds</u> of listings before I find even one tiny bit of silver. But it&#039;s the act of searching all the time, and following my intuition that leads to these scores. For this particular find, I had one photo to work with, and the price was low enough and experience led me to buy it without any additional information. Here&#039;s the photo I had to work with:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]236352[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the stuff in the box that was junk/plated:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]236353[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And here&#039;s the goodies, details are below the photo:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]236354[/ATTACH] </p><p>From top left to bottom right:</p><p><br /></p><p>Gorham Sterling 760 candle snuffer </p><p>12 piece set of Towle sterling silver flutes</p><p>Knife and spoon Frigast Sterling Denmark</p><p>*ignore the top butter knife, not marked, lower butter knife is reed &amp; barton sterling</p><p>Round spoon above the pie server is Weidlich sterling</p><p>Pie server is marked 800 with crescent moon, crown and F. Reirftant</p><p>The bent spoon and small fork are also Weidlich sterling</p><p><br /></p><p>Weight of all items excluding the plated butter knife, the weighted knives, and the candle snuffer = 486 grams. Not a bad score for $30. Let me know if you want to see the marks of any of them. And for the really <u>sharp eyes</u> that are wondering where that rectangular case is that&#039;s shown in the original photo...it wasn&#039;t in the case when i bought it; oh well <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
