<p>[QUOTE="Shawnemery69, post: 4399112, member: 60183"]O.k. so I posted this sterling bowl before asking about the age. I am leaning towards the idea that it is pre-1928. Reed & Barton. I haven't found many with the pierced decorative style anywhere I have looked. I am in a situation where I am wanting to sell. The bowl itself is 18.4 ozs and about 10 inches across. From a silver scrap point the highest price I have been given was around $16 oz. for a total of around $294. My question to everyone is where has anyone had luck selling items such as this if any? As a reference point I live in Topeka, Ks. I would like to avoid it just getting melted down if I thought there was a decent chance of someone wanting to buy it that was a collector or such. Just curious about everyones successful or maybe not so much situations you have run across. Thanks for any help![ATTACH=full]371695[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]371696[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]371697[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
