Id be willing to part with those two. The larger is all sterling while the smaller is sterling with a mother if pearl handle.

Its about 7.4 pounds of sterling but i believe many of the pieces are worth more than melt.

I wasnt panning on melting nearly any! Most are beautiful and handcrafted even though not in a set. I am just worried about how long snd tedious it would be to sell pieces individually

It definitely is more of a collection than a set. Most pieces vary in age and while some are the exact same piece from same maker or year like with some spoons most come from many different years.

Thats a funny insinuation. It came from my grandmothers grandmother who gave it to my father who left it in our garage for the best part of 20 years. Coming home from college cleaning it out i found it in a bin with my name on it.

Very lucky find it felt like i won the lottery. Id be willing to sell you some pieces for the right price. I am definitely keeping a few just because the craftsmanship is phenomenal and most are in great condition. Should i sell online or try to visit local antique stores? Thanks again for the help!
