Looks like an attractive haul, are the shakers plated too or might they be sterling? Sounds like you're in a good area to hunt, it may be worth asking when they bring out fresh inventory, or looking for the area where they stage shopping carts or rolling shelves loaded with stuff that they just finished pricing in the back before they have someone push the carts around to put things on their proper shelves. I'd imagine that you have competition from old boomers who haven't croaked yet and have nothing better to do and the Goodwill also probably pulls the obviously marked silver to sell online but they'll often overlook pieces with weird European hallmarks, .800 silver or old unmarked coin silver so being among the first to see it gives you a much better chance of getting the goodies. If you have an eye for flipping things be on the lookout for other stuff, several days ago I found no PMs but got $200+ worth of desirable vintage stainless for $15 (and $70 of great "Foxfire" survivalist books for $5 which I'm keeping), it's a good way to replenish the scrapping hobby fund and make the trips worth the effort when you don't find shiny cheapies.
