First of all, I should maybe make a small correction. It wasn't actually silverware. It was silver-plated. As embarrassed as I am that it wasn't real silver, it was silver-plated.
My mom had some very lovely silverware that we inherited through the family. It requires a great deal of upkeep and polishing and has some additional costs to maintain.
It was reaching the end of its life cycle and it was deemed to be more practical to dispose of the asset and acquire stainless steel—
