Makeover Monday: 1/9

I had expected the first week of January to be kind of slow around Etsy.  Especially in sosorosey.  Boy, was I pleasantly surprised!  People are already shopping for Valentine's Day, and I guess quite a few are spending some holiday gift $$, too.  As exciting as this is, it's really set me back in the "making over" department.  So, my apologies.  I haven't forgotten the purple thing or my Mom's big rug.. they are just on the side burner for now.

But, I couldn't do NO makeover today, so this is sort of an odd one.  I found this little heart dish at the Salvation Army last week.  For 99 cents I couldn't leave it behind.  I love the patina, and figured I could use something Valentine-ish in sosovintage.

When I got home and peeled off the price tag, I realized that this was not an unmarked piece as I had previously thought.  (Bad, bad thrift store lighting with 40+ year old eyesight).  Huh.  Fisher Sterling. 
Must Google.

Here is the same dish all shined up!  I found it for sale on eBay: $125.00!!!!  There's another shiny one for sale HERE at the same price: $125.00!!!

So, now I'm in a quandary.  Shine it, don't shine it.  Sell it, don't sell it.  Thoughts?
