THe hurricane candle lamps are easily found - mine came with a franklin mint dollhouse. The fireplace grate is super common...what is going on there? The only thing I can think of is the one signed plate and maybe some of the silver is Eugene Kupjack? But I can't tell. I wonder what the deal is???

There are some collector's pieces in there. I’ve seen sterling pieces alone go for in the high-hundreds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodentraiser Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I wonder if they have to be a name item or if it can just be any silver item before it's valuable. I found a mini silver punch bowl in a shop about 30 years ago that's marked .95 sterling, or something like that. I bought it for $5. I wonder if it's worth any money as a silver item or if it's just worth what silver per ounce is worth. Not that I'd ever sell it. Wait, I lie, if it was worth a hundred thousand, of course I'd sell it. Money, money, money! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, my dollhouse is worth 2 million to me, but I know it would sell for a lot less. In fact, I got it for a song. But it is worth the world to me. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thimble Hall Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Kelly , your piece is probably Sterling Silver and will be marked 925 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fov Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Those are some great dollhouses in Seattle! But I don't think the one listed as 1/2" scale is really 1/2" scale? I don't see how those dimensions could be right (38" high and 19" deep?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
