Message:: [QUOTE="TheOLdGuy, post: 84014, member: 878"]I learned something today. Maybe. Terry has 12 Wallace #75 sterling silver. Presumed S&Ps. Or maybe just Ss or just Ps. For some strange reason the bases are numbered (sequentially?) with non recurring numbers. Maybe as was said - "Perhaps some short-lived, time-wasting, management-ordered production monitoring..." I'm sure we've all experienced that. The tops are also numbered but it has not yet been revealed whether or not they resemble the base, or are even sequential. Wallace had a catalog for the retailers, with no number 75 mentioned. Doubtful that their hospitality catalog had that either because sterling was rarely, if ever, used in eating establishments. eBay will continue to have interesting listings that I shall probably never be able to figure out. Two as linked above, with Wallace S&Ps. One auction and one BIN. 6 pc's, auction style now at $10.49 with 2 days remaining. One BIN, 4 pc's at $75 OBO. Those are both Wallace 85, not 75. I found that I should not have discarded my Wallace? 6 piece set because, after sitting in the original box for years it had corroded. 4-ANTIQUE-STERLING-SILVER-COBALT-BLUE-GLASS-SALT-PEPPER-SHAKERS - 271972240642 - sold for $41.00. And it was more corroded than mine. Terry, what do you have planned for yours?[/QUOTE]
