Trade Visits

At ABD Contracts Ltd, we warmly welcome appointments from antique dealers and retailers wishing to view our continually updated collection of fine silverware.

You are invited to visit us to:
Sell scrap or redundant stock
Purchase new and desirable stock
Exchange older pieces for fresh inventory

Retailers and dealers alike can take full advantage of our high scrap prices, while enjoying the peace of mind that comes with knowing their pieces may not necessarily be destined for melting. We offer the option to trade in redundant silver items or genuine scrap for new, saleable stock, maintaining the intrinsic value of quality silverware. Much of our available stock is priced just above scrap value — ideal for those seeking to refresh their inventory cost-effectively. We consistently maintain a strong selection of in-demand items and a wide range of top-quality antique hollowware, flatware, and collectables, all offered at competitive trade prices.

Scrap silver purchase

ABD Contracts Ltd purchases pure 925 sterling silver (92.5% pure sterling silver) at current market prices. The silver must be pure, meaning it must not contain any foreign materials (such as wood, resin, plastic or steel elements). If required, we can also undertake the professional removal of these contaminants. Of course, we also purchase lower fineness silver, for example:

800 standard foreign silverware,
and 500 fineness silver coins.

Silver

What items are considered “scrap silver”?

Scrap silver is defined as those items that are now valued primarily for their metal value, i.e. their weight. This includes, among others:

20th century hollowware (teapots, trays, cups, bowls, mugs, baskets, dishes, napkin rings, spice sets, cigarette cases, boxes, etc.),
jewelry, such as heavier chains and pendants,

as well as virtually all 19th and 20th century cutlery

and damaged, worn or repaired silverware.
