Is Bristol silver worth anything?

1 Answer
Is Bristol silver worth anything?
Yes, some Bristol silver is worth something. In 1950, Poole Silver Co. launched its Bristol Silver division and began producing silver plate under the brand name. Because these pieces contain only a small amount of pure silver, any value they have is typically due to their style, type, age and condition. Serving trays, chafing dishes and other large pieces in exceptional condition may be worth a few hundred dollars. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can assess your piece and give you an estimate of its value. Find a wide range of silver wares on 1stDibs.
