Silverware can be hit-or-miss, but a haul from a famous designer like Tiffany or Georg Jensen could be worth your while, especially if it’s older and you have a complete set. A 24-piece Tiffany set from 1909 is listed at $1,100 on eBay, while a silver flatware service (297 ounces of weighable silver) produced by the company in 1927 sold at Christie’s for the larger sum of $17,500 in 2011.
As the first American manufacturer to make products with British-grade (92%) silver – which would later become the U.S. sterling standard – Tiffany has remained a strong seller on the antiques market.
