I have a box of miscellaneous knives, forks and spoons.
There are no complete sets of anything and everything looks heavily used. Much is stamped “silver plate.” Some is stamped “stainless.” None is stamped .925.
Can you get anything for the very thin later of silver on top of these utensils?

Take them to the scrapyard. They should buy them as yellow brass (around two dollars a pound)

I started buying them in my own business this year. I'm currently buying most silverplated items for $4.25/lb, and I'm paying $5.25/lb for forks and spoons.
