    Banbi....... a box of spoons that are EPNS (electroplated nickle silver ) is probable the most common item that is brought into the shop.

    They look valuable but are not. An unwanted wedding present from between 1930 and 1950.

    I sell them in my shop from £5 to £15 depending on the quality of the box.

    having sugar tongs helps sell the item and helps to reach nearer the £15 mark

    A tip.

    I have often found the sugar tongs look as though they belong to the set, when in fact they have been lost and replaced by a REAL SILVER HALL MARKED item.

    you can always call into the shop for advice.

    John

    Thank you Just checked the tongs and they are marked EPNS too. I saw them at a boot sale at the weekend and thought they looked pretty. Cost me £5 so nice to know I haven't lost anything.
