I stopped at a thrift store a few days ago. It occurred to me to look at their dishes and cookware. I saw three things of interest, a nice big jar with a metal fastener, an ornamental plate that I thought was copper, and a goblet that was tarnished. I checked the goblet to see if there was a stamp on it. No. Oh well. You never know. It could be silver, but it looked more like copper. I bought them all for $3, and took them home and cleaned them up. They were a mess. You should have seen the goblet. It appeared to be pretty old and it cleaned up like new. I saw after it was cleaned that it was in fact, a silver goblet, and it actually appears to be solid silver, except for the outside, which I thought was copper plate. No, that wasn't copper. Suddenly I realized it was gold. Wow. What a beautiful goblet it is. The plate was copper and makes is pretty displayed on the kitchen wall. It's a good idea to look around in thrift stores because it isn't unusual for them to sell silver items for a dollar or two. This isn't my goblet, it's similar.
