I attended the buyers meeting at Hampton Inn last week where two appraisers bought gold, silver etc. They were interested in a silver bowl I have (has three camels holding the bowl - HumpFree). I do not remember the company name, it was advertised in DSun. I'd like to contact them, and don't know where to look. Seem to remember they were from Stuart FL. Appreciate any input. Sandra

Maybe get in touch with the manager at the Hampton. They should be able to give you the contact info for them.

Why not sell locally?

The piece of silver I took, is very unusual. I know it was hand made by an English Silveresmith, in Eygpt in 1890. If I could figure out how to post a photo, I'd put one here :( Its about 12' tall, with three kneeling camels, palm trees behind them, support an engraved bowl. Mom used it as a fruit bowl aInd we children called it "Hump Three - humphrey" . I might contact Antiques Roadshow. Thanks for your input. Sandra
