    Being that it's a complete set in nice shape, I'd sell that on ebay first. I've seen on some of the escrap pages that people buy silverplated brass. I think the base metal often has alot of nickel in it and that's what they are after.

    Ebay, if the spoons, knives, forks have alot of plate wear scrap them, but at the very least Ebay the larger serving pieces.

    Nice find.
