I have a 50-piece collection of Royale silverware from 1840, made by L.T.D. Sheffield England, marked EPNSA1. The set is in pristine condition, still wrapped, and was sold in 1960 for $500.00. It remains in its original wooden case and has never been used. What can you tell me about this set and its value?

My 93-year-old mother has a collection of fine china, including a 70-year-old set of Hammersley bone china and various other pieces from brands like Foley, Royal Chelsea, and Cauldron. She is downsizing and wants to sell these items. What is the typical value of these items and what is the best way to sell them, considering she lives in Florida and I live in Boston?
