Title: Albert Coles Saxon Stag pricing
Post by: lemonsawdust on October 03, 2008, 10:13:28 AM
Hey there! I've been looking to sell an Albert Coles Saxon Stag ladle that I came across, but I think the shop I went to is trying to short me. It's my understanding that this is a relatively uncommon piece; I thought I would turn to the true antiquarians for assistance. If any of you folks could give me even a ballpark estimate as to what a good selling price for this item would be, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Update:

I have a picture of the silversmith mark on the back, too, if that helps. I'd appreciate any input I can get. Thank you!

you will be lucky, to get a third of what it's worth from a dealer. they have over head.and the fact it's ''pricey'' may cause it to lay or ''sleep''

Then there money' is tied up. fair market value is.$ 900.00 to a 1,000.00 dollars.

Yeah, I figured as much... I'm sure this will sound like a dumb question and all, but is there a way you would recommend to get more for it than I would from a dealer? I know there's always eBay but I couldn't find any similar pieces there, and thus have no ability to anticipate demand or lack thereof.

Right now e-bay is the best bet to get it '' advertised'' it's considered rare.it will cost you a few dollars to put up a reserve. you might be surprised.
