Silverware We Accept
What Silverware Items We Buy
Most inherited silverware is worth significantly more as silver melt than at an estate sale. Find out what yours is really worth.
Sterling Silver Flatware Sets
Complete or partial collections — forks, knives, spoons, and serving utensils. We buy from Gorham, Towle, Wallace, Reed & Barton, and all major makers. Engraved, monogrammed, or worn pieces are accepted at full silver melt value.
Silver Tea Sets & Serving Pieces
Teapots, sugar bowls, creamers, trays, and candlesticks in sterling silver. Antique and vintage sets welcome — condition does not affect the silver content we pay for.
Silverware Accessories
Salt cellars, napkin rings, butter dishes, gravy boats, platters, and punch bowls in sterling silver. Any sterling silver serving accessory is welcome.
Coin Silver & Lower Purity
Older American coin silver (.900 purity) flatware and foreign silverware assessed by actual silver content — you're paid for what's there, not a blanket rate.
Silver-Plated Items
Silver-plated pieces contain minimal silver and are purchased selectively in bulk quantities. Bring them in and we'll let you know what we can offer.
Estate & Inherited Collections
Inherited a box of old silverware and not sure what you have? Bring it all in. We'll sort through it, test what's sterling, and give you a straight answer on value.
Worth Knowing
Don’t sell at an estate sale rate
A set of sterling silver flatware for 12 can contain 40–60+ troy ounces of silver. At current spot prices, that’s real money — far more than the $50–$100 you’d typically see at an estate sale or auction.
We weigh every piece, verify the .925 stamp, and pay you based on the actual silver content at today’s market price. No mystery. No lowball offers.
Sterling vs. Silver-Plated
We Can Tell the
Difference Instantly
Our XRF machine distinguishes genuine sterling silver (.925) from silver-plated items in seconds. You'll know exactly what you have before making any decisions. Sterling gets paid at melt value; plated items have little metal value but we'll give you an honest assessment either way.

Transparent Process
How We Evaluate Your Silverware
Inspection & Testing
We check for the .925 sterling stamp and verify purity using our XRF machine where needed — no acid tests, no damage to your pieces.
Weighing
Each sterling piece is weighed on certified scales. Non-sterling and plated items are separated and evaluated differently.
Valuing
Your offer is calculated based on the total verified silver weight at the current live spot price — fully transparent.
