<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 106808, member: 59&quot;]Today would have been my mother&#039;s 90th birthday and I decided to use some of my &quot;in memory&quot; energy to (finally) go through the last cardboard box of (mostly) sterling and coin flatware that she inherited from various relatives, make sure it was all identified, organize it and get it all safely stored away in a flatware chest I&#039;ve had for a few years waiting for the right time. In the process I realized that a lot of the coin things and a few sterling had serious dents and dings, and in a couple cases, teeth marks. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /> Or maybe someone used those 2 as hammers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Suffice it to say - they&#039;re really only scrap worthy. But... isn&#039;t there always a but? There&#039;s a group of coin spoons from a Fishkill NY maker, that provide one of the few connections to the obscure Dutchess County roots of my generation&#039;s maternal great-great grandmother. Do I scrap them? Do I keep them with copious notes? Decisions, decisions.......[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
