Do you have old silverware tucked away in drawers or stored for years, unused?

Why Sell Silverware?

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?

What Types of Silverware Do We Buy?

We buy a wide range of silverware, from family heirlooms to single spoons. Here are the common types of items we accept:

Sterling Silver Flatware

This includes forks, knives, spoons, and serving utensils made of genuine sterling silver (usually marked “925” or “Sterling”).

  • Complete or partial flatware sets

  • Serving pieces (ladles, cake servers, etc.)

  • Mismatched pieces

  • Monogrammed silverware

Sterling silver typically contains 92.5% pure silver, making it highly valuable even if tarnished or broken.

Silver-Plated Flatware

While not as valuable as sterling, silver-plated flatware still holds some resale value—especially if antique or from well-known brands.

  • Rogers Bros (1847, IS)

  • Sheffield Silver

  • Oneida

  • Wallace

  • International Silver Co.

We assess the plating thickness, brand, and demand to offer fair prices for plated items.

Tea & Coffee Sets

These often include teapots, sugar bowls, creamers, and trays—made of sterling or silver plate.

  • Vintage silver tea sets

  • Decorative silver coffee pots

  • Hallmarked British sterling tea service

  • Silver sugar tongs and serving trays

Even tarnished or dented tea sets may carry significant silver melt value.

Silver Hollowware

Hollowware includes larger items like:

  • Silver serving bowls

  • Platters

  • Goblets and cups

  • Candelabras and candlesticks

  • Gravy boats

  • Ice buckets

We purchase both sterling and plated hollowware, offering payouts based on weight, purity, and craftsmanship.

How to Tell if Your Silverware is Sterling or Plated?

Knowing whether your silverware is sterling or silver-plated can make a big difference in its value. Here’s how to check:

Common Sterling Silver Hallmarks:

  • “Sterling” or “.925” stamped on the back

  • “925/1000” or “SILVER”

  • British hallmarks (lion passant, date letters)

Silver-Plated Markings:

  • “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.

How Much Is My Silverware Worth?

The value of your silverware depends on multiple factors:

Silver Content & Weight

Sterling silver (92.5%) is priced based on its silver melt value. We weigh your items and calculate value accordingly.

Condition

While even broken pieces have value, full sets in good condition may fetch higher offers—especially for collectors.

Brand & Maker

Certain makers like Tiffany & Co., Gorham, Wallace, or Towle may have premium resale value due to brand recognition.

Age & Rarity

Vintage or antique silverware, especially with ornate patterns or limited production runs, may carry numismatic or historical value.

Completeness

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.
