Can You Really Make Money on Your Vintage Items?

At Houston TX Coin Dealer, we love hearing the stories behind vintage collections. From elegant silver flatware sets tucked away in a China cabinet to a gold pocket watch passed down for generations, these items carry more than just sentimental value—they often contain real gold and silver.

If you’ve inherited a box of old jewelry or antique tableware, it might be time to let it go—and we’re here to help. We offer free appraisals and immediate offers on vintage gold and silver items, including:

Vintage Brooches - Small Pins, Big Value

Brooches were a fashion staple for decades, especially during the mid-1900s. Many are made with solid gold or sterling silver, and some include gemstones or intricate enamel work. Even if they seem outdated or are missing stones, they may still have precious metal value.
We’re especially interested in:

  • Gold or silver brooches

  • Cameos, art deco styles, and designer pieces

  • Filigree or hand-crafted designs

Vintage Watches - More Than Just Timepieces 

Gold and silver watches can be worth more than you think—especially if they’re vintage or from well-known brands. Even non-working watches may be valuable for their metal content or collectible status.
We buy:

  • Men’s and women’s gold watches

  • Sterling silver watches

  • Luxury brands like Rolex, Omega, Bulova, and more

  • Broken or non-working pieces

Pocket Watches - Antique Treasures

Pocket watches are a favorite among collectors and gold buyers alike. Many feature solid gold or silver cases, and even base-metal models may hold value depending on age and rarity.
What we look for:

  • 14K or 18K gold cases

  • Sterling silver pocket watches

  • Railroad-grade or antique mechanical models

  • Engraved or monogrammed heirlooms

Sterling Silver Flatware - Not Just For Holidays

Old silverware sets often contain real sterling silver (.925)—not just “silver-plated.” Full or partial sets, single spoons, serving pieces, and even tarnished or mismatched items may carry serious melt value.
We’re buying:

  • Sterling silver forks, spoons, and knives

  • Serving pieces, tea sets, and trays

  • Monogrammed, worn, or broken pieces

  • Well-known brands like Gorham, Wallace, Reed & Barton, etc.
