What's it Worth? Appraisal for Oneida Silverplate Cups

 

Martha asks:

Hello

I am interested in getting an appraisal for some sterling silver cups that I have had for many years.

The cups have the word CHEERS stenciled in it, and the word Oneida on the bottom.

Please advise, Thank you

Have a great day

Martha

AW says: Thanks Martha, those are fun, but they are not sterling silver, they are silverplated. They are “Eggnog” cups, circa 1930-50

Date range:

1930-50

Retail value: $45-$60 (prices are for set)

(top price)

Wholesale value: $25
(The mid range price you could expect to achieve at a well advertised live auction. The price that is most often realized)

Quick sale value: $10-$15
The price your likely to get if you have to sell your item immediately and your prospective customer is aware of this.

Care and storage tips: Polishing silverplate should be done with care, rubbing too hard, or using chemicals can expose the base metal and bring down the value of the item.
