[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 330566, member: 51"]A couple years ago I started a box where I would put silverplate flatware when I got it inexpensively, thinking I would sell as a "mixed silverware lot" in a flat rate Priority box. (I think I got the idea on the boards from [USER=88]@bercrystal[/USER] ) Mostly the pieces I've collected are ones some decoration on the handle, antique looking, etc. and will be fun for someone's craft or art project. Just last week a thrift had these in the photo-- was a half price day, so 2 for .25 (cents) and I purchased the group shown to add to the hoard. Already did okay, because (not shown) turns out there were 3 sterling spoons accidentally in the group. Was wondering what is going on with the ones that seem "almost white". Is this polish residue or have they been over-polished do you think? Mostly was wondering if some crafter is going to be pleased with these, or if I should not include them. Thanks for taking a look.
