Hi Sarah,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Because the auction/fair-market values of vintage and antique sterling silver are so closely tied to the commodities value of silver, it's a little tricky to accurately gauge the value without a precise weight of the silver (excluding stainless steel knife blades) but I've evaluated this set based on recent sales of comparably sized services.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
A vintage 67-piece Wallace Sterling Silver flatware service
In the Rose Point pattern, made in Connecticut, circa 1934, comprising:
12 knives (likely with steel blades)
12 dinner forks
13 salad forks
12 dessert forks
12 tea spoons
2 butter knives
1 gravy ladle
1 serving fork
1 serving spoon
1 slotted spoon
In a divided and lined box
CONDITION: appears to be in good condition
PROVENANCE: inherited
$1,500-3,000 for the set*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.

Please revise the quote or responded based on the fact there are 67 pieces not 55.
