Question
I have 6 heavy silver wine goblets received from my father in law, they are all stamped Selanger Pewter 97%, could you please let me know if they are in fact antique and what the are worth, my husband was going to garage sale them!
Thank you for your time
-
Why do you say they are silver when they are stamped 'pewter'?
No, they are certainly not antique, and yes, a garage sale is the right place for them. Made in Malaysia in the last 50 years. 97% refers to the amount of tin in the alloy. See the company's website: www.royalselangor.com - you might even find your goblets on there.
