[QUOTE="KSW, post: 3841494, member: 8708"]My reasons were 1) Very nice box 2) Even if not silver at $200 with that many matching items it would still have value. 3) some pieces had that yellow look of plate whereas others looked very silvery. 4) Very ornate pattern- couldn’t identify and didn’t know how or where to look so this was a stumbling block and probably where I would have lost my nerve if buying. 5) The high points on the ornate pattern didn’t look a different colour which may have done if plate had rubbed away. I looked at a bowl on FB Marketplace the other day and thought, no way that’s silver as it had that aluminiumy look inside so some of your knowledge is rubbing off Mr Nate! Thanks for the game :-)[/QUOTE]
