The cases are big and clunky. I have two old Rogers cases, no silverware, that I’m converting into jewelry boxes. However, most of the time one wouldn’t keep it on display, is just a safe place to store the silver in between uses.
If you’re pleased with the pattern, and ask the pieces are there and in good shape, $50 sounds like a good deal to me. You could easily spend that at Sears for a set of boring, generic Stainless Steel silverware.
