[QUOTE="TSM, post: 12137652, member: 99416"]I am so sorry that this happened to you. I discovered 3 knives in the identical floral pattern of the knives in your photo. The plating has worn and there is absolutely no way that they're worth $135.00. However, $1.40 and $0.99 are below value, especially given the majority of online RW 1835 floral pattern dinnerware for sale online. There is a lot of junk that eBay sellers are unloading for grossly inflated prices along with ads peddling the same junk for $5.00. On the issue of their general worth, i can vouch that they're not junk. My mother is an interior decorator and she bought them.

She knew what she was doing. The claims of value of this silverware model are all over the place. There is a lot of rusty junk pieces for $5.00 on eBay next to other rusty junk pieces that sellers price at $80.
