I have a set of knives stamped Hamilton Silver co solid magnetic silver.Can someone tell me anything about it? Does it have value comparable to sterling?

Is it collectable?

Help! That sounds fascinating, but I haven't a clue as to the magnetic bit. There are various Hamiltons listed in Rainwater, but none seem to mention magnetic silver.

Scott? June? Anyone?

I have never seen magnetic silver defined by a metal manufacturer. Even so I have come to know this as a white metal alloy with enough iron such that a magnet will stick to it. No silver content unless it is silver plated. I wouldn't think it would have any more value than comparable silver plate. I have never heard of anyone collecting "magnetic silver" but if they are and it is scarce then maybe there is a special market for this.
