Vintage W&S Blackinton Fine Silver Plated Ice Bucket
« on: January 18, 2016, 01:47:02 pm »
Measures approx. 8" tall, excluding handle. Has glass insulation inside it. Says "W&S Blackinton - fine silver plate - since 1865" on bottom. I couldn't seem to find one like this on eBay, Google image search. I only see more intricate/ornate ones with handles. This one basically has a solid/smooth design. Anyone know how much something like my piece is worth? Thank you. ;)

Cute little ice bucket that you have there. 

This style was popular in very late 50's and 60's (Sinatra/Martin era).

This style with the attached lid averages $18 - $20 due to it's simplistic style.  (The more ornate buckets, and depending on silver composition/maker, bring more $$)
