<p>[QUOTE="cxgirl, post: 8878377, member: 63"]Hi All, I went to sale today, someone told me there was some Christmas lights in one of the free boxes outside so I went to check them out. So glad I did, these pieces were in one of the boxes<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> I suspect they were in there because of the rust and green stuff on the silver and the glass is broken/damaged on the mirrors. This was a professionally run estate sale, they are fairly new to the area and I've never been to one of their sales before but I'll make sure to go to them now. Maybe they don't know British hallmarks? All pieces are marked except for the one handle that has been cut off, I'm thinking maybe from another mirror? The other mirrors have the hallmarks on the back of the mirror part, the pattern is the same so I'm sure it is sterling also. A plus is that I can see what is inside the handle<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>I've never seen green on silver like this - should I clean it off before scraping? With the rust on the tool things I don't think they can be saved so they will go for scrap also. The 3 lidded pieces I will clean up and save to sell separately. The bracelet is marked sterling and maybe 925, hard to see until I clean it up. It has lots of the green on it, hoping it come off. I'll try with soap and water and go from there unless someone knows a better way to clean it<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>any information appreciated</p><p>thanks for looking<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]429664[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]429665[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]429666[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]429667[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]429668[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]429669[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]429670[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]429671[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]429672[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
