Cool stuff. I love British silver! 👍
Very helpful
Dear David Harper, real cool pile of silver. Thank you for showing it to us
Wow 👌😂 some beautiful items there
Thank you 😁
oh woww! love me a bit of silver. I wish the smart seller very good luck with the sale. nice hunting collection
Some beautiful pieces there. I’d be curious to know how much was spent considering they were from boot fairs.
I'd name that lot, 'The Comstock Box'.
Very interesting job lot.The agricultural trophy’s are quite collectable l think and are part of history so should make more than scrap,are the bases weighted that makes a difference to value ? Hopefully you’ll unearth a few rare pieces in the box,I love opening packages like that🤞🙏
Now THAT is an auction lot! Shipped properly too - if a knife couldn't get neither would a thief. 02:35 NOT American I'd wager. Peruvian maybe? The 1989 salver/footed plate was probably a boot sale find, from a kid or grandkid who never saw the marks. I bet that trophy sells for better than scrap. People will read the inscription and laugh their heads off and start bidding. In the USA we find a ton of weighted stuff, i.e. sterling tinfoil over a plaster and steel core. I melt that for scrap on sight; that's all it's worth anyway.
Interesting
Don’t think that by cleaning it your improving it but all the silver behind you in the cabinets is shiny! Ten years worth from dealers? Do you write this stuff yourself?
It was ten years worth from a dealer!!
Is the item with the rack a silver asparagus dish ?
Someone just mailed you $11,000 worth of silver?
Yes, that’s not unusual. All to be sold in auction
Terrible packaging ! Probably most of the pieces were damaged or scratched in transit ! Why is it so difficult to wrap each one in paper ?
Non at all, all arrived safely.
@@DavidHarperAntiquesTV On close-up, several pieces appeared to be scratched. The point is, I would definitely put a layer of paper between the items.
@@Danny-bv6zv You’re right, but they were all bought at scrap prices over the years, due to them having scrapes, dents etc
Some of them are not solid silver the walker and Hall tray the mark looks fake
They’re all silver hallmarked and all checked before the auction
@@DavidHarperAntiquesTV the hallmark on the try it looks fake it doesn't look right also you stated Sheffield England at the back and the hallmark at the front is Birmingham
@@MrManny075 hallmark looks right to me a Walker & Hall piece Sheffield 1911 possibly but difficult to see clearly 👍
@@MrManny075 All checked and not fake! An item can be a Sheffield factory and assayed in Birmingham. Check out the auction on the 25th Jan (link in description) and you’ll see all the items going through sale with their descriptions
