Guys,

You are so right. Families like to give and receive family heirlooms.
Looks like a stretch to find these uses for old silverware. Donate it to charity maybe. This looks like "cheap crap" to me. And seriously -- plastic spoons as a candle holder? Did you ever think that maybe they could melt and START A FIRE? DUMB!!!
ReplyUmm.....those look like a pretty good reason to toss out old silverware to me.
ReplyIt just looks like ugly junk to me. Do you think they put this stuff out there just to see who will fall for it.
Replythrow it out?silver at forty dollars you can send to me i will pay for shipping
ReplySilver is precious metal, it is worth so much per troy ounce, you can cash it in for money. Don't throw away your real silver, look on the back of it and see if it says that it is sterling or stanless steal. Silver is what our curency was based on remember the one dollar bill used to be call a silver cirtificate, that meant that one dollar could be cashed in at any bank for it worth in silver. So, don't be giving away your old silverware it could be worth alot of money, even copper is now about $3 something a pound so save your copper wire too.
ReplyTacky!
ReplyGeeeeeesh, at least make some beautiful jewelry out of the old silverware. What you displayed looked like junk yard trash. Give me a break.
