Auction Silver

Silver antiques are commonplace due to the massive production of silver goods during the Industrial Revolution for the American market.  Silver made its way into the assembly lines, and eventually into the homes of millions of Americans as sterling silverware, flatware, and tea sets.  Silver antiques become rare when you begin to pay attention to details.  Answer the following questions and you will start narrowing down how rare a silver antique can be...

Does it look unique?  Were they handmade?  Are they over 100 years old?  150?  Are they ancient?  Where did the silver come from?  What was the nation of manufacture?  Is it stamped with any indication of who made it?  Are there similar designs, shapes, styles on the market?  Is the silver tarnished?
