<p>[QUOTE=&quot;J Dagger, post: 4471213, member: 10944&quot;]That’s the great part about acquiring knowledge of good and valuable things. You don’t need to look something up to know it’s good. Still pays to do your research when you get it home but you can acquire things at a price you know is acceptable without that part much of the time. It’s particularly fantastic because many good old things aren’t marked or marked in a way obvious enough that those folks will know what it is. Even when 100 of them have been through and seen an item, if it doesn’t say “Sterling” or have a clear English language makers mark it will likely still be there until someone with actual knowledge walks by it. Whenever I get something good at a thrift store it’s unmarked or not clearly marked/easily ID’d. My only bigger piece of thrift silver ever was Loth marked. I was one of the look up every item people once. It’s amazing what one can learn in a short time span when they come down with a bad case of “the sickness” and turn a hobby into a main source of income.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
