depends on what it is, is it REAL silver or just plated.
If it is a complete real silver, antique set it can be worth quite a bit over spot. if not complete, its basically spot price. But, you should have it appraised, because some pieces are worth a mint. |

Before going to scrap, I'd try Replacements.com - I think they will buy some old or hard to find patterns.

One set was my grandmother's the other my wife's grandmother's. I may have another set also. I'll have to check since they just sit in a shipping container. I'm sure they are older though. |

Yeah thats one of the few silversmiths in the US that even a non complete set can be a mint. Even a single utensil can bring in between $2000 and $6000 depending on condition. |

Where do I look? your first stop is to look at the silverware you have and to find the makers mark. then start looking from there. |
