Due to last week's thread on silver, I sold some sterling flatware and serving pieces yesterday while the spot price was just over $80. This ensures the silver price will be over $100 very soon.
You're welcome.

PSA on silver prices...

My wife and I have a bunch of silver that we got for wedding gifts 40 years ago. I will guarantee you I haven't eaten with this stuff 5 times in 40 years. In addition to the regular place settings we have matching gravy ladles, cake knives, mint julep glasses, serving spoons, etc etc etc. This is the pattern and we are about to cash it in also ensuring it will go further up in price but the way I look at it, it was free in the beginning soooooo.........
No one uses this stuff anymore. The things I sold were family heirlooms, but no one in my family was interested in them.
Its all just been sitting in a drawer in my China cabinet, making a few rare appearances at family gatherings. Honestly, the thread last week made me look into selling.
I completely get your viewpoint. My grandparents were of the interbellum generation and when we had Thanksgiving dinner we had to eat with that silver and china that you couldn't put in the microwave. The silverware is very heavy and just awkward to eat with.
Sir, that twenty dollar word has no place round these parts.*
It's terminology that means between the wars. My grandfather was just a toddler when WW1 broke out and he was pushing 30 years old when WW2 broke out. Too young for WW1 and too old for WW2. That's definitely an interesting generation of folks if you ever had the chance to be around any of them.
My great-grandfather was 37 with 3 kids in 1943. He was drafted and sent to Panama for a year. They took anyone. Sadly, draft boards weren’t exactly equitable.
Good stuff should have "Sterling Silver" printed/etched on it somewhere. Not always, but a lot of times.
