Sliverware & Flatware 101

We buy silverware, flatware, cups, candlesticks, and other silver odds and ends! They don't even have to be polished!! There are just two important things to know before attempting to sell your silverware or flatware.





#1. Make sure all of your items are stamped "STERLING" or "925" and are not stamped "PLATED" or just "SILVER"

Q: Why "925"? 
A: Because sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver!

#2. When selling silverware, keep in mind that we do NOT buy dinner knives.

Q: Why don't you buy knives?
A: The blades are stainless steel and the handles are filled with wood, cement or metal to act as a counterbalance. (As seen below)
