LOL, sounds very good, I'll take that under consideration once I will turn 98 yo.

oh yes, nice one, well I know that no everyone is at your level so thanks for sharing.

yes its possible

Hi. Who are they?

Yes. Exactly

​@@ThriftingWealth trust your eyes

That is basically a stone that is very very hard so you can scratch metal against it.

oh, that's an interesting one

best way is to lookup sold listings

I do not buy but I would say you can check the price online in sold listings

Hi. This is not for sale. Sorry.

did you testing for silver and the result in blue?

thats amazing, they are not very east to get

Yes I think so too, thanks

Oh. Why is that.

@@ThriftingWealth it's barely there and yes I can see the acid turning white for whatever little is there

This is not solid silver but just some silver on the external side.

Yes I think it was.

do you have a question?

Yes I think so

very true, they are great especially if they are cleaned and polished very nicely

Yes, exactly in order for this to be valuable. It needs to be solid silver and unfortunately it is not.

That's very interesting, so what exactly is your approach?

Nickel silver is a metal alloy that is made of copper, zinc, and nickel. No silver. However, it can be polished to a beautiful shine. Wm. A. Rogers manufactured some nickel silver flatware; you might be able to put together a set of flatware if you wish. It may take some hunting, however. They didn't manufacture much in that line, but since it's very durable and useless for silver smelting, it still exists. I just saw a set of iced tea spoons that tempts me.

So value wise, it's not much money, right?

That is truly lucky, in many cases they will not even ask for the full price of gold maybe 50 to 70% so that's how you know it's definitely a scam

That sounds great, thanks for letting me know, I'm always hunting for Sterling if I can, or something pure, I do have a several pieces actually in the videos which are hundred percent silver and they are silverware

​@@ThriftingWealthI've looked through your channel and saw the items you test, and respectfully, unless you already know before hand that they're plated and still tested them to make the video, i think you waste your time testing pieces you can easily look up by their names. I think you need to study up on makers and read forums and databases and it'll help you to pass on things that you should, if your goal is only to find real silver.

Yes true, for me it was lots of time wasted as I was learning, at some point I just decided since I'm spending the time anyways why not make videos as I'm learning and this how I started to do it, but most video are filmed when I have time to do it as also busy with other things. I plan to post more as I have time to do it, it's hard to fine the time it take a lot to make one video.

​@@ThriftingWealth that's very similar to my channel in fact, I started making videos not knowing very much, now i can almost instantly tell silver from plated but I also focus on silver plated and when that is valuable.

Could have been a good deal if it would be real

Very nice! Do you collect it?

Yes exactly. People are trying. Lol 😆 Lots of gold like that. Can be found every day. I will be posting more soon.

Yes exactly, I would say that most of my cutlery is from them and yes sometimes I find amazing and rare pieces. Most stores don't know what to look for, don't know the costs and or how rare it is so I would say it's the best and easy way to hunt and I would put a garage sale in the second place. PS. Thanks for sharing.

hi, based on what I know 18-8 stands for stainless steel

Thanks 👍

Hi, yes that is correct. Most people in NA are going for the 14k some will be good for 18k and very few will have 20k+, based on what I have seen most printed from Asia and China will go for a minimum of 18k+ but best will be considered as 20k+ and 22k+ so yeah.

Yes, it is very well could be.

Not at this time, sorry

🙏 thank you 👍

Hey. Do you have a question?

Hi. WOW theodoro roosevelt. Very nice. Congratulations on your find.

Hi. Yes that's probably silver plated. Unless you have other marks on it indicating it's silver

Hi., 18k stands for the gold purity used on the product but gt I'm not 100% sure, G could be for gold and P i'm not sure. I have seen GP and that would stand for the gold plated.

I think that this ladle would be $100.00 -$300.00 or more based on the brand if this was made if silver purity 90+ but in this case this is just a silver plated and I think it will be $3.00 - $5.00 on the hot market day based on the who is looking collector or user, LOL, hope this helps!

Yes! Exactly right, we see people get way more "inventive" these days to steal money from other people and this is just one more way, but I'm sure they (who are stealing) have done this for generations and thousands of years, it's just now we have the "know how" and the tools to know more.

Hi. It's possible. But how old is it?

@@ThriftingWealth I don't know it was of my greatgrand father.

well, in that case I would have it tested and by any marks it has on it, do you know how its marked?

Do you mean if I have other platforms?

Real. Nice. Congrats on that.

Hi can I ask a Question , I know there is a lot going on with the American silver that is not being told.

sir moron wm.A Rogers nickel silver saan to mabinta sir?​@@Ac3230753

If it said 18k gp this is gold plated and not a solid gold. If it said 18k without gp this would be solid gold it's not a fake I have two marked 18k, small and large and I paid over 1400 USD for both.

will make a video about both of them and will do so more testing lol.

@@ThriftingWealth Thank you so much sir.

It's my pleasure. Thanks for the question.

Bende gümüşü brasletdi KGP pahalımı bilmek isterdim

I will have to check to see if there is something on it to give you more info.

@@ThriftingWealth Thank you very much for your quick answer.

Hey, yes exactly. I will do that in the future. Great point 👍

Yes I think this is 18k
