i dont think your gonna find any sterling silver at a thrift store, the employees inspect and price everything that comes in, and i can tell you that alot of the stuff that comes in does not make it to the sales floor. One of the perks of being a thrift store employee.
Look for markings or brand names, if in doubt write notes or take pictures with your cell phone, then you can check on the internet when you get back home.
I do find alot of name brand lead crystal that is priced very low and can be worth alot.
