I just looked it up.  That's a very pretty pattern.  My sister inherited a service for 12 plus every extra piece you could possibly imagine of Lunt William & Mary.  She already had my mother's Reed & Barton Francis First.  We looked into selling the Lunt on ebay, but it seemed like it would take a very long time if it sold at all.  She took it to a gold & silver buyer and sold it for something like $800. This was about ten years ago or more.  It wasn't a lot, but it was better than nothing.

I recently sold sterling silver silverware. Did not have a complete place setting of any one piece. Although there were many pieces. I took it to a jeweler and got $800 for it. Try a local jeweler and see what kind of price they will give you.

I also agree with EBAY! You may get more that way and reach a larger market.

@dexI inherited a sterling silver flatware service for 12 from my MIL and it's more of a burden than anything. She must have had it in the box for 25 years and never cleaned it. It was a nightmare to clean, she's gone 3 years and I've only used it twice. I'm not selling it, but my son no doubt will when he inherits it.

There is a website called 1stdibs.com that is selling the same pattern for $2,150 -- set of 8, 36 pieces.

It does go in the dishwasher.  I've used my sterling silver flatware every day for over 20 years and always put it in the dishwasher.   No problems what so ever.  I polish it when needed.

Replacements hardly pays anything for sterling.  Sell on e-bay, check with a local antique store about selling or consigning.  It is a shame to scrap beautiful silver that many people still buy, use and love. 

Go on e-bay and see what pieces sell for and you might be surprised!

Yes, it can go in the dishwasher, but if you have stainless steel flatware also, they shouldn’t touch each other while being washed together or the silver will get spotted and ruined.

       Yes, that is correct.   I should have mentioned that. I never mix it with         anything else in the little baskets.    Thanks.
