This is a real silver silverware set that lit up my metal detector recently. There is something really cool about a set like this.
It is another example of real tangible wealth. Money in the form of precious metals that not only has intrinsic value, but a real use case!
One of the more interesting parts of this AG set is the marketing materials that came with it:
The first page of the reading materials calls silver a “sound investment!”
As I delved deeper, I was giving an old school offline lesson in the use of silver as both money and artifact:
It is awesome to learn how gold and silver are seen throughout every civilization and throughout every time period as something extremely valuable:
This stuff... beautifully crafted silver, has always been in fashion:
As we know from my article about being a Silver Stacker since the day I was born, I have loved silver as well as gold for a LONG time:

I did get a huge kick out of this marketing material:
Between looking at more silver:
Because really you can NEVER have too much AG!
I learned a lot from looking at and reflecting upon this silver. This is a historic and fantastic addition to my silver stack. I highly reccomend getting ahold of some of this old stuff. Diversity is very important even amongst your precious metals holdings.
Another way to own silver is through a Goldmoney Holding.

It is incredible to think that all this silver is from over 70 years ago.
I wonder how I would have explained the Proper unboxing Tool to the people that wrote this!

I love seeing tangible wealth that can be used in daily life at the same time. I didn't even read the booklet before lol that makes it even more awesome. Way cooler than "silver" sets nowadays
I upvote please upvote love beautiful comment Swiss cheese is great
Great
So i stack, and then the wife wanted Gorham silverware and candle sticks and salt and pepper shakers......What a beautiful way to own and enjoy Silver. In the last great Silver price run up so much was distroyed. I can remember as a teenager going into the local coin shop that had a line out the door and picking up random pieces of silverware. This time around i have saved some beautiful Silver creations. The LCS told me anything filled/weighted was busted up and melted. :(
resteemed !!! :)
Very interesting story! Thank you :)
We started collecting silver rounds at first, but I soon discovered the 'other' kind of silver. I couldn't collect enough of it! We've got some interesting pieces that I might share in the future, but there is NOTHING like silver. Silver has antiseptic qualities that you can benefit from just by eating off of sets like yours. I try to give first time moms that I know, a silver baby spoon. Awesome pics! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for reading :)
Hi Goldmatters. I picked up a silver set at a car boot fair in England years ago. They really are classy and worth having. Not many families have sets like the one you have any more and will go up in value.
Thanks for sharing that! Yes, the defintion of class :)
Silver is a solid investment... Certainly one of the best to consider, but it still plales in comparison with Gold.
Yes, agreed
Now, we got a silver spoon. We are rich :D
