    Back when silver was at $50/oz. I walked into a local antique store
    that was selling silver items by weight at the current market price.
    I bought a beautiful small (4") sterling vase made by Tiffany
    Studios, for about $70. It was a shame that much beautiful work was
    melted back then.
