I have come across a very interesting piece. It could be silver

 

Customer Question

I have come across a very interesting piece. It could be silver I just do not know what it even is, so I cannot find a price. It is rectangularish and has regular slats. It is ornaments with a lil de fleur (sp) It couldnt be a dish it wouldnt hold anything. Maybe it was used for mail? I bought it because it looked neat but I have no idea what it is.

 



Already Tried:
a cursory look online with the makers mark a while back. I have to dig it out of storage to tell you what that is

Hi,
My name is XXXXX XXXXX it will be my pleasure to help you with this question.

You have a silver plated basket, used for bread or fruit, made by Rogers Brothers, a subsidiary of International Silver of Meriden, Connecticut in the mid-20th century. Your basket appears to have wear and scratches to the plating.

In the condition pictured, the current retail (replacement or insurance) value of your basket is approximately $40. If you were to sell it, you could expect to get the fair market (private sale or auction) value of approximately 40% of the retail amount.

I hope this answer has been helpful to you. Thanks for using Just Answer!
