This is a fixed priced sale, so no stressful, finger biting auctions, just one click to buy with ease.
PS Silver is very difficult to photograph because it's reflection picks up the photographer, hence any tinging. Also, these items are not new, most are over 100 years old, some 200 and over, so may have some defects, unless they had a charmed life.
