[@WhatTheHales]

Do you think any of the pieces in the Sterling Silver Box are SOLID Sterling Sliver? Hale$ YES or Hale$ NO? If you liked this video, then you'll LOVE this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZiqhHlums98ftU

[@mgolden78]

Yes I believe so

[@emsamish]

Only the one on the very bottom Maybe the rest of them have the wrong color and the wrong sound.

[@floydbutler4241]

Hales yes

[@Sandlot1959]

No, I think they are all plated. Sorry....

[@Kfrye71]

I think so it looks like the same color I have that was my 95 year old gmas stealing silver stuff and omg its hard to clean

[@m8s4lif]

Start watching at 18:51 and you will see what I think is the most interesting find. The newspaper. Vietnam War. Sad, but more important than everything else put together. Thank you Vietnam War Vets. Thank you all U.S. Vets.

[@janicehales2958]

That last silver piece was just so much nicer than the others. It had a special shine of quality the others didn't have.

[@OldCatDude]

Give that Vet those engines he liked for helping sort the rest of the lot. You'd make him a very happy man. :)

[@lizg5574]

Ketchup. I use ketchup to clean silver jewellery. Cover it, leave it about 20 minutes. Wash with warm, mild soapy water, dry and buff gently with a soft cloth. Safer than most silver cleaners, as they actually strip the surface.

[@magdalenebecerra8475]

If you keep a pencil eraser handy and erase over the markings. On each item you will be able to see them clearer.

[@debbivaughn1313]

Ken was excited again. What an awesome unit! Tyfs.

[@maryanngriffin6428]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that will get you some maga lot of money! and make somebody very happy!

[@joeybarrelwilde]

Anything marked on the bottom " Vnt IFS LTD Made In England Silverplate " is valuable.

[@singumilang4459]

👋they r some silver in the box 📦 u find.🙏👍💖🌟🥈

[@jennydavies5238]

What the Hales I love all that bling wow it's awesome just like both of you love you both ❤️

[@davidshanks6082]

You two are amazing people. So funny and you make things so fun to watch. Thank you so so much for your program!

[@shadwfax1964]

I wish I could see it in person because sterling is my thing. I only wear sterling. I love collecting silver.

[@alishiahardman4945]

Hello Jeremy & George! Happy Sunday! Be safe God bless!

[@canadianlady8034]

Wow what a good video! Love watching you both so much! Don’t even need my tv anymore lol! Keep the videos coming! Love them all!!!!

[@linda2573]

Some of those silver pieces are very familiar! Wedding gifts from the mid 60's! Brought back memories of things packed away.

[@AlllieBow]

Nice to see this. My FIL loved his train set. When he passed we donated his stuff to a local club so people who loved it could enjoy it.

[@leslieodonald554]

All of those markings are from England and the marks tell year, maker, and other info You can look it up .

[@jenndac2]

George Jeremy thank you for sharing this video as you but in a band in storage and you found a huge box of sterling serve our love watching it you both have a great weekend tell George George’s I said hello

[@jenndac2]

George Jermy thank you for the thumbs up and the love and heart on my comment

[@phxjaguar5207]

Good luck for having the large tray being sterling. I once found a 3 pound solid silver (tested higher than sterling) water jug for $7 in a thrift store. Other resellers passed it by as it looked like pewter unpolished. I did well

[@noniehayes6050]

Oh HALES YES!! Please, all those markings are of valueable pieces! Be sure and research those. There are websites online that are for all markings and what they represent! Keep US POSTED, please when you find out! Thanks for another great vid!!

[@singumilang4459]

👋wow u found yr gold 🥇in the trains 🚂 🚉. 🙏👍✨💖🇨🇦

[@rossjudd6049]

Blue sheen on silver means there is copper underneath the plating. Also pitting indicates plate.

[@ginny46able]

New drinking game,...everytime he says Egyptian, take a shot!

[@rosaaguirre7382]

Nice sterling silver box.

[@williamramsell853]

I sold my Hohner Chrometta 12 about 5 years ago for $85. It's a very nice chromatic harmonica.

[@bond1j89]

Man I am drooling over all those trains; to bad I don't have the money or room at the moment.

[@possiblyhuman3114]

The one thing that usually gives away plate right away for me is when it has a bluish tinge. Sterling generally only has a black tarnish to it. YOu'll have to ask George about that if blue is a color that's an issue for you. All of the plate you have looks pretty basic or is otherwise too damaged to be worth anything. But never discount plated items. There is some high-value silver plate. It's usually very ornate and attractive. My favorite silver plate to find is art nouveau especially WMF figural pieces. The higher value items are usually the more ornate ones. Some other good silver plate names to find especially the older and more ornate pieces are Gorham, Tiffany, and Christofle. I just usually look up anything ornate or really visually interesting and different.

[@Rose39M]

Pure sterling is lighter Plated which your have, is heavier because its base is copper or brass. Sterling is also softer and wouldn't make a good tray, it would bend.

[@thomwentworth5860]

My father designed the gearing and most engines for American flyer A C Gilbert co.

[@stuartstone6359]

You need to check out the stamps on the posted stuff. It will tell you the age manufacturer and city. Some of the stuff is very valuable and sometimes more than actual silver items scrap value

[@humanbean67]

2:10 a tethered flyer. it flies around & around you, while you stand at the center holding its' "leash".

[@glennewell8108]

Jeremy when I was a young boy in Brockton Massachusetts my grandfather bought me for Christmas Lionel trains at least eight to ten sets of them I had them running through the house everywhere my mom got out to me and told me you can't run them in the bathroom they were in the bedroom they were in the kitchen living room yeah I have a lot of fond memories of playing with my train set.

[@maureenmcgrath8169]

Glenn Ewell I remember the milk trains that deposited aluminum milk jugs!

[@glennewell8108]

Hey Jeremy how'd you like to make this old Jarhead today, Andre restorage love in a special way. My grandson Michael loves trains dinosaurs and sharks, but mostly he loves trains. I watch the episode of all of the unboxing that you did with George George, and George I'm asking a huge favor of you, would you be willing to part with a set of Lionel trains and send them to me at my address here in Lenoir City Tennessee. So I can give it to my grandson for Christmas and make sure it's in working order. My grandson has autism I'm asking a big favor of you my friend. I want to see his eyes light up, like I did when I was a child, and when my grandfather brought me so many train tracks and trains to run through the entire house. I will attach this message, in an email to you as I do have your email address. You'd make my grandsons day if you could do this. Respectfully one of your best followers on KZbin Glenn Ewell

[@italiandragon3208]

💯👍most of that is echo plated but one of them is solid silver. 💯✔

[@h.w.a.batterink1027]

Enjoy the sterling❤️❤️🇳🇱

[@shellicameron408]

stainless or 304 stainless or could be white brass or yelllow brass

[@cherylyoumans6988]

Good Unit !!!!!! Not so sure about the Silver though !!! Train sets were great !

[@kathyjohnson5097]

I was 2 days old on the date of that newspaper! Crazy!

[@jefferyduke6532]

I feel like that very last platter is at least 92.5% silver. Do the sound test or magnet test :) Then nitric acid test if possible

[@buggsy5]

A magnet test is pretty much worthless, since iron is seldom silver plated. The base metal is either copper or brass.

[@maryjohnson1131]

I like the look of the brass peeking through, it may not be of the same value but i think it is beautiful

[@shellicameron408]

yellow brass white brass

[@175muffin]

The figurines are so beautiful

[@tscande]

I have quite a few sterling silver pieces when purchasing them at yard sales I look for ROGERS for American Silver as they were the largest maker of Sterling silver pieces.

[@germeister6917]

An amazing find! All being silver plated, Wallace 651, 8198 platter(popular!), Chipendale, Oneida ltd.fiesta... still some great finds!

[@miguelcotrich7139]

God bless you and your family and another great video and this unit is awesome man everything in this unit is great keep them great videos coming and I send you and your love ones lots of blessings always 👍👍👍👍

[@billallen4240]

The little symbols are called "Hallmarks". You need a guide that tells what they mean. A simple way, in case you've forgotten, to distinguish plate from solid silver is to use a magnet. Won't stick to silver.

[@tangomoggy]

Unfortunately, magnets will not stick to copper either...and more often than not, copper is used as a base metal in plated items. Either that or brass. It tends to be only iron based substances that are magnetic...

[@chanmi1957]

13:07 The yellow bus reminds me of the old RTA buses that ran in Dayton, Ohio where I grew up. They had those long "arms" on the back that were connected to wires that ran them on electricity. Boy, if one of those buses hit a bump too hard, the arm would pop off, stop the bus and cause a bid mess. Brings back memories. Thanks for the video! 😁✌

[@canadianlady8034]

Funny you say it’s freezing lol here he just had 48 hours of snow and it’s staying 🥶. -6 here now! Stay warm 🤗

[@supermax7454]

you guys are fabulous

[@ednaatluxton4918]

No trays are solid you can tell to look at. Old antique b4 1900 yes and sometimes like the jewelry they didnt mark it

[@floydbutler4241]

Awesome finds

[@virginiacopeland108]

Thumbs up!!! Clark

[@lisaysasi7531]

Wow!..awesome unit! I believe you might have one piece of sterling it had a lion hallmark that faces to the left I learned from an apraiser that means sterling & its made in england! Great video!

[@shellicameron408]

big last piece 304 stainless

[@IslandGirlTCFamMember]

The platters don't sound like silver. Too dull. But they're very nice. :)

[@arbrnirish]

The Makers mark on the plates belong to the Sheridan Silver Co., Taunton MA. That is all I could find on the Makers Mark

[@buggsy5]

The maker's mark says nothing about whether the item is solid sterling or silver plate. There are a few exceptions, where the maker only produced silver plate.

[@judylustig3520]

If they are tarnished that is silver!

[@buggsy5]

That is no indicator at all, as silver plate tarnishes just like solid sterling.

[@kerrymti1151]

I recommend getting all of the trays checked to make sure none are 'coin silver', much more valuable than just sterling. But, that said, they all looked like plated to me...not that valuable. My mother was a collector of silver coins, trays, old jewelry, tea sets, knives/forks/spoons, etc. We had a TON of it to go through and get priced/valued after she died. None of it was very valuable except one very old 'coin silver' serving tray she had and one set of solid silver cutlery and one set that was stainless on the parts you put in your mouth, but the handles were solid silver and very ornate. Looks like a really good unit.

[@iancalvert5563]

Harmonicas can fetch hundreds of £££££ or $$$$$ I play the Harmonica very well xx

[@robynmanley3201]

I think it is plated.

[@paulanull8731]

7:19 the mirrors are for displaying important items that a bigger view of an underside would help without moving the piece. They also help protect surfaces from water damage when used with flowers and plants.

[@HUSTLERS1]

Good hustle on it

[@debbiemiller3817]

I have all my great great great parents silver pieces from 1800's. They were passed down over the yrs and my mom ended up with them. When she passed in 2016 I got all the pieces. I have many of those same pieces you have there. I also have a complete tea set. Are these something that sells better at an auction?

[@RichardRoger1966]

That Shure mic is from the mid-70's. My Dad had a stereo store back in the day and I remember clearly that packaging. We had those in stock.

[@patrickleary7662]

Keep up the good work thumbs up up and away in your beautiful balloon.

[@shoshanachavab]

EPNS is silver plate. All looks plated

[@antiquesuncovered1137]

3:55 Those harmonicas are so cool, we don't see alot of them over here in Sweden.

[@patrickleary7662]

In 1805 Lewis and Clark brought a pnuematic rifle to the surprise of the elders it was silent.

[@damieoncunningham4792]

the chipindale was a company from the UK they made top end furniture and silver wear I hope that helps

[@margaretchiotti]

My dad could play the harmonica like a pro. He learned while he was serving in the Korean war.

[@islandthrifts809]

Keep us updated on what you find out!

[@Swtspirit]

Nice trains

[@ConkysFlippinAdventures]

You guys said EPIC!!!!!!. You delivered. Amazing train collection and it's going to be the one to beat for sure. Emailed comps on the plane. (reminder, I called dibs this morning 😉)

[@michaelboone5398]

It's all plate

[@gabunnie1]

You have to look up those symbols on the bottom of the items and the country of origin and what each imprint means. "E" on that English piece does NOT necessarily mean "electroplate" they used letters for years example: a=1900 b=1901 A=1800 B=1801 etc. Lions head means was made in London. There are many times makers marks as well. That TEA SET LOOKS LIKE STRAIGHT ANTIQUE SILVER to me but badly tarnished. Could be plated, but the style could be back to 1700 or 1800s easily, BEFORE they used marks. You need to find a good precious metals marks WEBSITE. You should be able to look up most marks for free. Hope that helps you.

[@tomwilliams3089]

On the silver, all plated but from some good companies. The last piece looked really good... maybe silver. Silver is up now but $2000 in pure silver is about 8 lbs.

[@tangomoggy]

(Silver)plated items can always be replated...you just need to find a good craftsman who has a plating works...!

[@alexmax6216]

You both work so hard on everything you do, you make the perfect couple...thank for these good fun and interesting videos...

[@tomjones239]

I wish I wasn`t broke. I love those little radios. They don`t make them like they used to.

[@aletaschulz1108]

Clean the silver do not polish. Polishing eliminates the patina. After you get an expert opinion whether any of it could be old enough to be an antique, then decide if it is worth polishing. I am thinking more on the last silver tray you showed us. If that one is solid silver and old enough to be an antique, the patina increases its value.

[@buggsy5]

That last tray could be stainless steel. They did not allow long enough to really examine the pieces, but I saw no hallmark on the bottom.

[@Linda.777]

My brothers had planes like that. They ran on some kind of fuel and were tied to a long set of strings and started by spinning the prop (not easy)

[@craig6444]

The silver plates are ALL plated.

[@judylustig3520]

Make sure you get some good silver polish!

[@debrabensinger1331]

On the bottom of it. There is print.

[@laurelbrennan6295]

Appears to be plated....sterling silver is lighter weight than you think. My mother always referred to her silver as sterling, even when it was plated.

[@kathystewart2209]

Jeremy say thank you George!!

[@patrickleary7662]

Looks plated

[@awad0115500001]

150مبروك

[@brendasnider7130]

Don't get upset Sterling plated can still bring in some money got to look up the markings then check on Amazon and Ebay see what they are going for. You will be surprised about what they go for.

[@debbieshaw4308]

Hi all ways check out the pattern on the items as that is where some of the hallmarks are hidden. Debbie Shaw in the UK.😊

[@lisabeth8036]

George, the two of you are very very cute. If I was younger you would have to watch out sister. Just funnin with ya. You two totally make my day.

[@Bevisgreat]

I think a large platter needs to be extra sturdy so the silver would be on top of another metal. Usually. The sterling silver is on smaller things like silverware handles.

[@buggsy5]

I have a large sterling silver serving platter that weighs about 4 pounds. It is certainly strong enough to support heavy loads.

[@virginiacopeland108]

Thumbs up!!! NO! Clark

[@lindabunce5133]

Ok you two young'ens! A lot of people in the age group of the owner would refer to silver plate as "honey, pack up the sterling". Most things were silver plate. Now for my grandparents in the 1920's....they would get gifts of solid sterling but also received some plated silver. I saw maybe one piece in that box that may not be plated. Of all the flatware you've seen.....how many have not been plated?

[@sharkscrapper]

I'm going with plated...sorry

[@jamesaaronsmith6747]

lol ok was i the only one waiting for jeremy to inhale a spider from the harmonica

[@angelatucker2886]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@edwardanderson6600]

Looks like plated but some of the peices that just have hallmarks are worth checking out. Also if you look at how he or she spelled the word straight on the train track box it might indicate a misunderstanding of how to label silver.

[@sando270]

Chippendale is a very famose company

[@barbaragrimsley6624]

Usually with the markings of "Crowns" it is Silver. I would say Hales yes silver.

[@melodymaker65]

WOW Bleeding Gums Murphy`s old harmonica.....just kidding
