Hey everyone! I M20 recently discovered a large collection of antique sterling silver that belonged to a family member. I've been going through each piece and identifying marks and wanted to get some expert eyes on it.
The collection includes various flatware, serving pieces, ladles, napkin rings, and decorative spoons and many more items. Nearly all pieces are confirmed sterling silver based on hallmarks. The pieces appear to range from the 1840s through early 1900s and include marks from some well known American silver manufacturers from that era.
I'm trying to figure out the best way to sell. Where do i start? How do i figure out of what i have a set of or not? whether to go piece by piece on eBay, find a silver specialist, sell as lots, or use Replacements Ltd. Also should i get this appraised?
Will update with more pics if there's interest!
Any advice appreciated
