<p>[QUOTE="kentworld, post: 10632239, member: 35"]Alas, those of us of a "certain age" have inherited a lot of stuff from our parents and grandparents. Many things were wedding gifts or things gifted and collected over a life-time. Bridal registries for silverware and china were still a thing when I was married in 1980, so I have my own Royal Doulton dinner set as well as my mother's Royal Crown Derby dinner set. I have 2 tea and luncheon sets -- one Wedgwood and one RCD. And I'd get a pittance for them now.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, use google lens to research quickly -- much of what you have is likely donatable -- and then if something pops up as a possibility of rarity or $$$, set it aside for further research. I think that would reduce what seems to be a rather large amount of "stuff." There is probably a gem or two in there, but it might not look like it at first glance. When in doubt, post here and the boardies will help! Good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
