We have a few old family heirlooms, sterling candlesticks, etc. which we are hanging onto. Value has gone up in the last few years.
Checking out e.bay, seems to be lots of .925 silver. Betcha a bunch of it is fake..........painted lead or somesuch. Some from China..... now THAT'S gotta be real.............:roll:
Best e.bay value ever for me was an old mandolin being sold as is, for parts, not working. Turned out to be an old Gibson oval A style which needed the back reglued. Sometimes one wins.:lol:.
Anyone own a metal detector.? Treasure hunting might be a fun hobby.............lots of nickles at the beach ? ;-)
