If you own an heirloom set of silver from this pattern, this is a great opportunity to add these to expand your set or to fill missing holes you've been meaning to!  Even if you don't necessarily need these pieces, adding more adds extra resale value to your set if you ever choose to sell it, while being a great silver investment at the same time!
