This Saturday we are having a estate sale of my late moms stuff. We have been marking stuff for a few day and there was a dirty Rubbermaid flatware holder of tableware my wife said that would be good for someones camper so we put a $5 sticker on it. Later I found one more fork and I do not know why I looked at it with my loop and it was marked Reed & Barton Sterling. Mr. Google helped me find out the it was a silver wheat pattern from 1952. So it and all the rest is not in the sale.
