[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 9421906, member: 56"]The '80s really reduced the quantity of antique silver available. I saw people lined up around a city block waiting to get to a scrapper. There's very little pre-18th C French silver because the government of the day required it to be melted down to finance the military. This is exactly what would happen with my relatives. They wouldn't even look at it: they'd just toss it. Call in Davey so they wouldn't have to be distracted from the day's baseball game.[/QUOTE]
