[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 400235, member: 136"]Hi, Belgaqueen, and welcome! I don't know what the market is like in Belgium, but here in the US, silver prices are pretty low these days. There was a time when your charming rickshaw set would have brought a much higher price that it would today... On eBay USA, there are sellers asking $200+ for these sets, but they're not selling very well. A price of $80-$100 seems to be what works (which to me is pathetic!) These are some currently listed: [URL]https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=sterling+rickshaw+salt+pepper&_sacat=0[/URL] Here's a set similar to yours that [I]isn't[/I] selling: [ATTACH=full]139312[/ATTACH] [URL]https://www.ebay.com/itm/JAPANESE-950-STERLING-PAIR-RICKSHAW-SALT-PEPPER-SHAKERS/162329478265?hash=item25cb974479:g:sdkAAOSwo4pYWwEy[/URL] ...and a pair that sold, but I can't see for how much: [ATTACH=full]139313[/ATTACH] [URL]https://eronjohnsonantiques.com/products/k-47-0066-pair-of-vintage-japanese-sterling-silver-parasol-salt-and-pepper-shakers[/URL] Personally, I find them charming! I also want to mention that these are all marked [B][SIZE=4]"950 STERLING"[/SIZE][/B] which is a higher percentage of silver-to-alloy than the "925" sterling standard. (Not unusual in Japan.)[/QUOTE]
