nice...if I am seeing right....about $23,000, full retail. http://www.replacements.com/webquote/RDSFRAN2C.htm & Replacements Ltd might be interested in purchasing your set, for much less. The monogram hurts it a wee bit. Of course, try to sell it to a collector, to get top$$.

Well, how far you from a Sotheby's, Christies, Skinner? http://artist.christies.com/Reed-Barton-53842.aspx ...wow, right? Anyway, if too far just contact your local reputable auction house to see about including it in their next specialist auction...NOT general, with a reserve...ask about all fees!!! Google silver collectors, but that is hard since nobody can trust anyone, anymmore. Good luck!

Can you please take a photo & zoom in on the silver mark. I want to see what year it was made, etc. as this would affect pricing greatly as I have some concerns over the pieces that being able to see the marks would answer.
