Silver Item Buying in Rock Island
Professional Silver Tableware and Decorative Item Purchasing
Rock Island's rich history as a transportation and manufacturing center has filled local homes with sterling silver tableware, serving pieces, and decorative items passed down through generations. Your silver collection deserves professional evaluation regardless of current condition.
Quad City Pickers specializes in purchasing sterling and fine silver items including flatware, candlestick holders, bowls, trays, and serving pieces. They accept tarnished or damaged items, focusing on silver content and authenticity rather than cosmetic appearance.
The Mississippi River's influence on Rock Island's development created a community where families preserved formal dining traditions and quality silver pieces. Professional silver buyers understand both the monetary value and historical significance of these collections.
Rock Island Silver Authentication Expertise
Rock Island's humid river climate can cause silver items to tarnish heavily, but this natural oxidation doesn't affect underlying silver content or value. Professional buyers evaluate pieces based on authentic silver markings and metal composition.
Expert authentication includes recognizing genuine silver markings such as 800, 850, 875, 900, 925, 950, Ster, Sterling, Coin, Lion Passant, and Star while avoiding plated imitations marked Plate, EP, EPNS, NS, Nickel Silver, German Silver, or A1.
