3 distinct designs of last century #Silver salt cellars!
The Scandinavian and Russian designs pictured with 'the hinged wings swan'. The swan design originated from Germany🇩🇪 but was popular throughout northern Europe:
Russian🇷🇺 (Soviet era) gilded and enamel #Silver salt cellar 🔥
- A complete contrast to the Scandinavian style (the viking boat is Norwegian🇳🇴).
Bowl: 916, 37 g
Spoon: 875, 3.5 g
Both showcase the 2 most common silver purities from the regions.
The regular silverware standards:
* 830, Scandinavian standard
* 875 (84 zolotnik/21 carat)
The high end:
* 925, adopted UK Sterling standard
* 916 (88 zolotnik/22 carat)

Still buying scrap #Silver.... $1.19/gram.
Hard to estimate the exact silver price as it's uncertain how much is 925, 830, or 800.
I know 2 of the coins and most of the jewelry is 925 and a lot of the spoons and forks are 830 - some of the designs carry a premium.
But we are paying $37/ozt in raw weight, so still way below melt, as worst case (all only 800) would result in $46.25/ozt.
Still the best deal out there imo, if stacking bulk silver and you are willing spend time identifying it and find the right place to offload it.

I'm getting spammed on all social media at the moment with commercials from shops wanting to buy all categories of #Gold and #Silver... is this a sign shops see a demand, resulting in a judgment, that we are at bottom pricing?
I see a lot of rumors that shops are running dry on bullion #Silver this weekend. How does it look around where you live?

If you can't afford #Silver tableware or decorative items to enlighten your Xmas, then go for some brass... it's cheap - nowadays both cheaper than copper & pewter, even it consists of 50%-80% copper.
It's free putting a bit of work in polishing it, so it gets that golden Xmas shine! 🎁🎄🔥
Here are some $5-$10 pieces, in state of purchase vs. polished. They are heavy, sturdy, and resilient:

Todays haul of around 3 kgs of #Silver
Here is the rest of it.... a pretty nice haul today! 🔥
Too much to mention what it is 🤣 ...but not the knives in the big box is a rare set of sterling blades!
Some of the #Silver unpacked...
- Got the silver animals. The two smallest are solid, the others hollow, but still nice weight to them.
- The top right spoons are Soviet Era☭ gilded 875 with enamel, typical silver items from that time.
- All the floral spoons at the bottom and the coffee spoons above matches spoons I already have. Nice to be able to combine items from these scrap lots to make more or less complete sets 👍🏻

Does anyone recognize these sterling #Silver markings, where it originates from?
It's imported to Sweden, but I have no idea about the country of origin or age!
