I have no room for glasses anymore... the silverware is taking over all the cabinet space! 😬

I'm a bit worried plastering this big #Silver holder... it's not like it's easy cleaning it out and doing a rerun, if you f*** it up.
Maybe I should do a small 'ugly' one first with the desired mix? 🤷♂️
I'm going with the hardest a** type 4 dental plaster I could find, low viscosity, fast drying/hardening, low expansion... coat the inside properly first, and add blue felt instead of standard green and charge an extra $100, because it's a 'superior base' than normally 🤣

Back (3-armed): 20 minutes, submerged cleaning in boiling water.
Front right: 30 minutes of cleaning with 2 washing products
Front left: Uncleaned (the all looked pretty much the same)
Wow... this 3-armed not having plaster (yet), makes it so much easier to clean, because the #Silver can be submerged in boiling hot water. Spent almost no time getting it this clean - was same color as front left holder 20 minutes ago.

#Silver closed for the weekend at $64.31 🟢+0.7%
Another weekend price in the range we are used to. Still buying physical on the weekend spot?

The algos are still programmed to sell off #Gold along with bonds... this will change once people realize it's all about debasement and inflation.

Some designs are just really bad!! 🙈
I guess this iron weight plate is a no go anyway... in order to tighten the bottom plate properly, the iron plate, (being fixed on the bolt) starts grinding the inside of the thin #Silver structure as it rotates - it's apparently mounted to high up on the bolt! 🤷♂️
This 3-armed candlestick holder is a hot mess...
It's 830 #Silver alright, but the bottom plate is 'german' silver/fake silver, clearly marked 'Prima NS'. It must be an after market fix... heresy! 💀
I'm going to ditch this plate and make a classic plaster filling... you can't mix real and fake silver!?! 🛑🤷♂️

Nice #Silver haul today.... 🥈
2 x 3 armed candlestick holders...
- One fits the chunky ones I already have, but needs a filling.
- The other has a detachable steel base - love it! 👍🏻
The vase looks awesome! 😍

The US 10-Year Yield keeps printing new highs, and crude oil is up +3% today... better get prepared for significant inflation, if you are not already - it's happening now!

#Silver the most depressed today - gold looks like the first that may recover soon!

More in the mail today... Thee candlesticks are the 'midget' version of a series with two bigger sizes, so now I got a all three sizes 👍🏻
This was just a scrap lot, but these tea spoons are very nice and heavy, and the sugar tong on the left is same design as the majority of the spoons, so we have sort of a coffee/tea set there too!
September 23rd mailcall 🥈
More 830 #Silver!
2 candlestick holders from 1957, that are as generic and clean as they come... and a small bowl from 1969 - probably classified as a sugar bowl.

🛑 The 10-Year Bond Yield is taking off like a rocket! +3.6% 🚀
The US economy and the markets are going to be in real trouble soon, if this continues (and it probably will)! 😬

Another German🇩🇪 #Silver napkin holder
It looks a bit easier to clean than the first one. Weighing in at 90 g, this one is also German, but standard 800 silver - not an 830 export to Sweden, like the first one.

Got the 'unknown weight' 830 #Silver letter knife that needs to weigh 23 g for me to break even at melt.
I bought a 830 tea strainer too from the same seller for $103 - weight was also not listed... it needs to come in at 59 g to break even at melt.
Good deals or not? 🤷♂️
Auctions where only dimensions are stated, but no weight... good deals can be made because of this!
This is an 7.8 inch (20 cm) letter opener in 830 #Silver 👇
I paid $40 for this.... that means It needs to weigh 23 g to break even at melt value.
What is your weight estimate for this?

Wake me up again at $70!

How do you clean the plating inside these #Copper cups, without damaging it?
By the looks of the finish and corrosion, I assume int's tin:
