Featured This never gets old

Greetings and good evening fellow silver enthusiasts!

Today I had a day off from work, and I was actually uncertain how I would spend my day. I got to sleep in a bit and I was planning to go out, but I figured I would check the "internet" before I left. Lucky that I did, I came across a listing titled "silverware and chest" that I clicked on. First few photos just showed the case, but the flatware looked promising. I sent the seller a message inquiring about the brand, and they told me the back says "Barton Sterling".....Well, we all know what that means, I hopped in my car, drove an hour away, and came back with this nice Reed & Barton sterling set.

There's 35 pieces total, so not an enormous set but I'm not complaining AT ALL. Price for the set and the chest was $100. Not counting the knives, the weight is 1218 grams:

 

You ARE amazing!!

Thanks for sharing your finds with us.

 

WOOT!

 

The fun never stops !!!!! Good 4 U Mr.N8 !!!

 

Thank you komokwa, this one was super easy; ask a question, get an amazing answer, go buy it.

 

This pattern is relatively recent compared to most of the others you have found. American Federal, active from 1982 - 2011.

I second what Judy said
Keep on hunting Mr Nate, you have the golden/silver touch

 

Wow, another great find. You are the silver superman.

 

Thank you for looking up the pattern bakersgma, I can tell that this set has barely been used. The items are tarnished but there's almost no micro-scratches on individual items. My theory (a loose theory) is this was a wedding gift that sat unused for years until the owner was finally tired of looking at it.

 

That could be, Nate. The pictures do make them look blotchy - sort of water spotted.

 

WELL DONE NATE !!! ... Joy.

 

Polishing complete; clearly this set hasn't seen much use yet.

 

Good job, Nate!

 

Very impressive.
