Is it complete...I don,t see any salt/pepper pots....
-
Pics are too large to download !! Couldn`t see the backstamp !! Can you make them smaller and post one of the stamp on back ??
-
I am unsure if there are salt and pepper shakers, i will find out. If not what do you think a set like this would generally sell for?
mart: the pics are only 800 pixels.. they aren't very big. Here is a link to the stamp on the back: http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a272/kebz_01/_MG_2650_zps16f1005b.jpg
Edit: have since found out that there are no salt and pepper shakers.

What was that you were saying earlier about living in the city..... ;D

When you are on dial up like Mart is...then anything is way too big....but that,s one of the joys she,s got with living in the Boonies.... ;D

My apologies :)
I have found out there aren't any salt and pepper shakers.

that,s really not that a big deal...here in the UK...or to be more precise...here in Scotland...this set,providing there are no chips,or hairline cracks, might on a good day...with a strong wind blowing in the right direction..fetch..£150/200...but on a bad day...well, it would make a nice set for eating your Christmas dinner on...
-
It is in perfect condition... no cracks or chips.
We are trying to sell it for my husbands grandparents as they need to cash so i'd like to make sure i can get what its worth sort of thing to help them out.

The pixels are only relative to the camera`s size of the pic !! But the file size on your computer is much larger !! Thats where the problem is for me !! You can use your computer to resize the pic directly from your camera`s picture card or with the USB !!
Any way !! Finally got to see the mark !! I think your set is from the Furstenberg factory, They used the F letter on marks !! The (usually three lobed) crown and cross is the universal symbol for Bavaria !! Try going to replacements.com to match the pattern if you don`t know the name !! It looks to be in excellent condition and I think it would make around $200. or a bit more if you can find a buyer !! Problem is,, not many buyers nowdays !! If it were me I would put it on Craigslist since it would be local to you for $250. !! If you get some interest in it you have a bit of room to deal !!

curlybird I wouldn't get mart's feather ruffled, lol. ;D She right though, you have to resize your photos.

Yeah, if her feathers are anything like her Rhode Island Reds....then there ain,t much underneath...and she could do herself an injury if she were to get frustrated.... ;D ;D.

I am a photographer, i didn't just take these directly off my camera and upload them. When i resized them i should have changed the DPI to 72DPI for web viewing however i shoot RAW so they are most likely still at 240DPI which would increase the file size. Here i was thinking that Australia had the slowest internet in the world, i'm really surprised that in America they still have dial up.
Anyway thanks for all your help, i will try my luck in selling them and see it i get a bite.

America does have Broadband...but there are still places where, dial up is all they,ve got...and as Mart lives in the middle of nowhere...or the Boonies as she calls it...then anything is too big for her...
-
LOL !! I am not that far out Wullie !! We have BB,, I just don`t want to pay what they want for it !!
Feathers !! Back to the chickens now are we Greenacres ?? LOL
I never get my feathers ruffled !! Well,, almost never !!
-
I would try FIOS if I had the underground cable. I hear that even faster. In my area that would be a hard sell. They just aren't buying china. America used to be so conservative, and now they are paper plates. ;D

Okay, back to the request......You two gagglers!!!!
How many pieces to the set?
Unfotunately, you aren't going to get rich on this beautiful set. You would actually make more money selling it in pieces.
I am in Florida helping my best friend price out the 26 boxes of china and silver that the moving company LOST and the 20+ more boxes of items that were broken - for replacement value!
You will find that the sentimental value far exceeds the sellers market for monetary value!!!
For this set $300 Insurance value, $240 Store front selling value, $180 tops if you sell it (depending on where you live).

But its a very pretty set !! I would hate to split it up !!
