Rare early Gorham goblets

    I have 12 sterling goblets that are marked sterling, ornate G, and the initials W L. The G looks like the Gorham mark and I just learned that this means they were created before Gorham began stamping their trademarks. Does anyone know what this might do to their value? With the current price of silver, I'm being advised to sell my sterling items for their melt down price. For some pieces that's OK but I'm hesitant. Each goblet is 6.5" tall.

    @Elizabeth Warner, would you be kind enough to post a photograph of a goblet please? Preferably against a plain background.
