Eric2 Posts: 3 Registered: Mar 2016	posted 03-24-2016 02:01 AM Hello. My name is Eric (Eric 2 username.) I have a box of goods from a friend and am looking to sell a few things out of it. Below are 3 links to photos of silver marks that I could use some help identifying. I appreciate you letting me post as I want to be as educated as I possible as I move forward. Thank you.

Kimo Posts: 1627 Registered: Mar 2003	posted 03-25-2016 08:19 PM Hello Eric. If you would please re-read the conditions under which you registered in this forum you will see that we do not discuss prices. If you would like an appraisal you should locate a professional appraiser in your area and hire them to provide you with your appraisals. Best wishes on your sales.

Eric2 Posts: 3 Registered: Mar 2016	posted 03-25-2016 11:47 PM Kimo, Hello. If you would re-read my post you'll see that I was asking for identification assistance, as my subject noted. I did not want to discuss prices. I want to be better educated so that I know what I have and what I estimate it could be worth. Sincerely Eric IP: Logged
dragonflywink Posts: 993 Registered: Dec 2002	posted 03-26-2016 08:07 AM Hi Eric, While respecting your honesty in stating that you are researching these marks in order to determine their worth for sale, it is clearly stated in the guidelines that these forums are not for that purpose. Please understand that we are are just a bunch of folks who collect, study, and discuss silver - we don't post items looking for help in selling them. Should you develop an interest in silver during your sales research, perhaps you will start or join into another discussion, it would be very much welcomed... The American marks you've posted are all fairly common, and can be found on sites intended for mark identification, or in books found at libraries or retailers (Rainwater's Encyclopedia of American Silver Manufacturers, 4th edition, is recommended). ~Cheryl [This message has been edited by dragonflywink (edited 03-26-2016).] IP: Logged
Eric2 Posts: 3 Registered: Mar 2016	posted 03-26-2016 12:47 PM Hi Cheryl, Thank you for your clarifying message. I understand. Honestly, I did online research and was unsuccessful, which is why I went through the effort of posting in your forum. I respect what you do and I do have an interest in silver, just not these pieces. I prefer a more modern aesthetic. Perhaps another time.. I apologize in advance if I offended you and/or Kimo or the others in the forum. Regards, Eric IP: Logged
Kimo Posts: 1627 Registered: Mar 2003	posted 03-27-2016 04:12 AM Hi Eric. No worries. I hope that you return sometime to chat about your personal silver collection and interests. best, Kimo Contributing Editor, SSF IP: Logged
