[QUOTE="TheOLdGuy, post: 106921, member: 878"]Questions, please. 1. I have always thought that a company will have similar, but not exact, design in both sterling and silver plate with different names. Never the same name. 2. Brad, even though yours might be seconds. wouldn't they still be marked sterling. The two eBay listings and Brad's set are different designs. But GMAs Replacement's pics seem identical to Brads. I'm asking because, for several years I have been told by many, many dealers. shop owners, that the young buyers DO NOT WANT sterling or silver plate because they don't want to bother polishing them. So I did keep the family sterling, and sold a small ton :confused: of stainless on eBay. I did put two silver plate sets, in cases, in one of my antique shop cases [U]6 years ago[/U]. One sold in seven months and the other last October.[/QUOTE]
