<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tommyc03, post: 8301935, member: 17665&quot;]I have a slew of silverplate items. I bulked up on some nice stuff back around 2012. Some sold, some did not. There is little market for it overall, at least from my EBAY sales. Cement was usually used on the bases of candle stick holders for weight, as a safety feature from them falling over too easily. A lot of old mansions also had tunnels going from the house to a kitchen to avoid fires. It was bad enough having multiple fireplaces. A lot of sterling was done this way and it&#039;s deceiving unless you know this as to the total weight of the silver involved. A damaged piece has to have the base torn off to get a proper weight. I have never seen this on anything but candle holders, weather single or ornate multiple holders.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
