Attic treasures

I remember packing this away when we lived in our other house pre-1990 before we moved here. Dragged it down from the attic to do an inventory and see if there's anything worthwhile. I came across it yesterday looking for something else. I either need to get rid of it or start using it. None of my kids want it and it's not like there are whole sets. Just random bits. I don't have the energy for cleaning silver any more.

 

The cut-outs on the lid look older than the box. I'd be digging in that to see what was inside, whodunnit, etc.

 

Sterling or silverplate do you think?

I just had to move things around my house to get some flooring replaced.

After moving the sterling out of the way, I had forgotten just how many boxes of nice silverplate flatware I had. The silverplate got as far as my car for donation.....then my daughter looked at it and took it all.
