This is a stupid question but if they are made in antique silver does that mean I could take them to the pawn shop and get their weight in silver?
As far as I am aware, these would have been produced with a base metal such as brass. The terms "Antique Silver" and "Antique Gold", and the like, is to describe the finish on them.
You can always try take em to a pawnshop.
Let us know how you get on
