I’m tearing apart an old house and found some shite that may be worth something. I’ve thrown out so much shite and didn’t even open the box or bag before I burned that shite.

Anyway I happened to open this box and thought this actually may be worth something so I just shouldn’t burn it.







Has a big silver looking bowl and and bunch of silver cups. Looks like a complete set. The home owner just passed away and was 103.

Maybe he will give me $20 for it

I think the old ice cream maker will go for more.

Not worth much on ebay. Maybe use it for gifts.

Looked it up, it ain't worth much. Just silver plate. Full sets are listed online asking in the 200s.
AntiqueTiger May say different but I don't think you've stumbled on a gold mine

If it’s sterling silver it’s worth something just by the weight. Take it to a silver smith and see if it’s real and what it’s worth. I found a book of silver US mint coins my uncle had after he passed and the contents weren’t listed in his will.
Took them to a silver smith and the guy cut me about a 6,000.00 check less than five minutes after inspection.

I wouldn't be able to sleep. I'd convince myself I burned a Babe Ruth card or some shite.

My brother and his wife inherited her grandmothers old house and 105 acres so I’m down here gutting it to make another camp hanging out in Alice Texas. It’s about 25 minutes from our place in Falfurrias Texas.

There’s a ton of old glassware and other stuff that I want to save for my sister in law if it’s worth anything.
