Silver brazing wire...Valuble or not?

[niffler]

Hi, I stopped at a yard sale on my way home from work today. I saw a box with some rusty tools and some spools of wire, I also saw that 2 of the spools of wire were marked "Silvalloy The American Platinum Works Newark, New Jersey". I bought the box of stuff for $5. When I got home I looked up Silvalloy on the computer and it turns out it is silver brazing wire. I think it is 56% silver, but I'm not sure. The alloy number is QQ-S-56ID, class 4, wire size 1/16", weight 12 O.T. I weighed the wire off the spool and it weighed 11.34 troy ounces for one and 11.90 troy ounces for the other, for a total of 23.24 troy ounces. I multiplied this by .56 to get 13.01 troy ounces of silver if it is really 56%. If this is right then it is worth over $500! Does anybody know about this stuff? Any help or advice appreciated. Also, who could I sell this wire to? Thanks, Niffler

No problem HPD, I am glad everyone has shared some info and is mindful to keep an eye out for good deals on the even low grade precious metals to be had in everyday situations. Thanks to everyone for the info. Niffler

Looks like silver solder to me. I do it.

It's not used for stained glass, it needs to get too hot.

I'd sell it as a solder, that way you'd get the most for it. Ebay should get you the most exposure.

Who might want to buy it? A gunsmith makes a lot of repairs and installs sights and things with silver solder. Monty
