Begining Sterling Collecting

Post by RAB3Group »

I'm not new to collecting sterling silver items, but I am new to getting serious about it. I've collected baby sterling silver cups over the years and I have bought some spoons/forks as I've come across them, but nothing serious. What I'm looking for is to move into the serious collecting and thats where I need help. I just bought the book "All About Antique Silver with International Hallmarks" as a start. I read somewhere that it was geared more to getting started. Is there any other books that will point me into the right direction. My goal is to get a setting of Georgian flatware from Towle, I think that would be a good goal, I like the pattern, plus I've heard its very collectible. As I complete this goal however, I would like to learn about other highly collected sets or rarer items so I dont pass them up if I come across them. Please let me know your thoughts and "must haves" in a library.
