Towle brand sterling weighted. Approximately how much silver is in each?

Weighs about 58lbs all marked sterling, 800 or some other weird lion symbol. What do I have here?

Paid 2,500 for 3176 grams of sterling silver before knives

I believe it to be silver? How can I tell if it’s full silver or plated? No markings on bottom. I can see remnants of an engraving on the top of the case but it doesn’t appear to be a family name. Found this amongst my late grandmothers items - she was a collector, no doubt so the engraving could be someone else?

Wondering what era this is from and any other info?

Thank you!!

Any thoughts on what this piano might weigh?

-Edit-False alarm. It's magnetic and no stamp.

Sorry been a while on a post. Today I have a Cartier pin cushion I recently picked up. It’s supposedly from the the 1920s

1963 Canadian dime, 80% silver, this is the 3rd silver coin I’ve found at my new job since starting in march, really surprised how many I keep coming across

Saw this at a thrift store and has been sitting for awhile

I recently discovered that I had purchased 60 OPM 1oz rounds quite some time ago. I’m currently in a financial situation where I need some additional cash, and I had planned to visit my local coin store tomorrow to sell them.

However, after conducting some research, I realized that OPM went “out of business” several years ago. Initially, I thought I could sell them as a whole, but I’m puzzled by the fact that single rounds are being listed for such a high price on eBay.

Can anyone explain to me what’s going on here?

Bought this on a whim. There are no markings that I can find. The right lid is a little heavier than the left. I used a strong fridge magnet and it was non magnetic but I did get a small amount of resistance. What really excited me was the ice test. The cube melted right away. In one of the pics you can see a part of the foot has broken off and to my untrained eye, looks like silver. I'd like to sell it but don't want to get ripped off . How can I tell if it's a) real, b) the purity, c) the best place to get the most ie pawn shop, LCS, ebay etc? Aprox 42oz on my kitchen scale. Apologies about my potato camera.

Cool crystal boat with sterling sail.

Considering polishing it, but I don’t mind the patina.

I almost left this behind at the thrift store because I couldn’t find the mark but the sulfur smelt right so I kept looking… took me a minute haha

Just got this flute and ive no idea if/any silver content

Antique William Comyns fruit bowl from 1892.

Pics of cleaned up finds to follow 👍

Hi, while clearing out some cupboards I came across this basket that I inherited from my mother about 15 years ago. It looks great quality and doesn’t react to a strong magnet. The only marking I can find is what appears to be a Horn of some kind. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Found a 84% silver basket. It is broken for $2.99 and weighs 353g.
