Do you have old silverware tucked away in drawers or stored for years, unused? Whether it’s inherited silver flatware, sterling tea sets, or vintage serving pieces, many people don’t realize their silverware holds real value. At GTA Gold Buyers, we specialize in buying sterling silverware and silver-plated items—paying top dollar based on silver content, brand, age, and condition.
Visit any of our store in Ontario, or contact us for a free evaluation. We make it easy to sell your silverware—with instant cash payments and no pressure to sell.
Over time, silverware often loses its practical use. You may have:
A full set of sterling silver flatware you no longer use
Tea sets, trays, or pitchers from estates or family heirlooms
Damaged or tarnished silver pieces that just sit in storage
Unmatched or incomplete silver cutlery
Instead of letting it gather dust, why not convert it into quick, tax-free cash?

Knowing whether your silverware is sterling or silver-plated can make a big difference in its value. Here’s how to check:
“Sterling” or “.925” stamped on the back
“925/1000” or “SILVER”
British hallmarks (lion passant, date letters)
“EPNS” (Electro Plated Nickel Silver)
“EP” (Electro Plated)
“IS” (International Silver)
Brand names without silver content
Can’t tell? Bring it in—we’ll test it for you for free. Our experts use acid testing, magnet testing, and XRF technology for precise analysis.
The value of your silverware depends on multiple factors:
Sterling silver (92.5%) is priced based on its silver melt value. We weigh your items and calculate value accordingly.
While even broken pieces have value, full sets in good condition may fetch higher offers—especially for collectors.
Certain makers like Tiffany & Co., Gorham, Wallace, or Towle may have premium resale value due to brand recognition.
Vintage or antique silverware, especially with ornate patterns or limited production runs, may carry numismatic or historical value.
Full flatware sets or tea sets in original boxes often command higher offers than individual items.
At GTA Gold Buyers, we factor in both scrap and resale value—offering you the highest possible payout based on your items’ unique attributes.
We regularly work with:
Families cleaning out estates
Downsizers or retirees
