That silver bread basket cleans up well. I have one that looked like that. I put a layer of aluminum foil in the sink. Sprinkled baking soda over the foil. Put the discolored silver bowl in and poured boiling water over. Use tongs (so that you don't burn yourself.) and keep turning the item until all the discoloration is gone. Easy! Follow with a silver polishing cloth if you have one.

Anytime I've seen Community flatware, it's always silver plated. This is from a silverware reference site: "Community Plate is one of the brands or "marks" of silver-plated flatware made by the Oneida Community beginning in 1899." Some people collect some of the nicer old silver plate so you might still be able to get something for it. Seriously, have someone look over the Asian art, boxes and pottery. If they're authentic...my gosh you won't believe how much it's worth!!! I can't wait to see part two! Happy birthday, Wade!

Wade, Wade, Wade! Put a pocket knife on your key ring so you'll never be without a knife again. I am very envious of this great unit! Looks like someone was in the Navy, maybe stationed in Japan. 12:37 Mama Ventures is correct -the beautiful Sake set that you found with the gold heart cut outs is Somayaki pottery from Japan. You don't see those knife forks very often, they are called Knorks. 17:21 that is a noodle ladle or a wok ladle. 26:06 Those are terra cotta soldiers from China, they were buried with the emperor to protect him. 38:09 It looks like Lung-ch'uan Celadon from China, if not a replica, could be worth thousands.

Not a great fan of Asian stuff - but have to admit this is one heck of a good unit. Wonder what happened to the owner. I always wonder that - especially these well packed and cared for things. The chest/drawer furniture looks like something that would have been bought at one of the decor stores a few years ago.

It is nice to see they kept the silver in plastic to keep it from tarnishing. I have bought silver once where they put the price tag in a spot on top of the item. Once removed I could never get the rest of the silver as clean as what was under the tag. When selling, put the tags on the under side of the on string tags if you can. But you may have already known this.
