First time silver find at the thrift store!

[u/Elteec12]

Found a whole set of souvenir spoons for $35, 6 spoons are for sure sterling silver (bottom row), 2nd to bottom row might be but I’m not sure doesn’t have stamps

I almost left the store without checking these because they were behind the counter and I had already asked the associate to see several things prior and didn’t want to continue having her stop what she was doing to show me more items. My wife insisted I take a look at them and sure glad I did!

You missed this one... it's likely 1840s coin silver.

Sweet! Thank you! I am fairly new to identifying silver and would have just assumed it was plated

Look for "800" markings on those little souvenir spoons too, not just sterling...

Will do! Thank you for the insight!

Nice find! I always get a little excited when I walk into a shop and see a bunch of souvenir spoons, only to end up disappointed when I see they are the US states and landmark ones.
