If they are sterling clean them. Other than the bottle not sure these are 100 years old.

These are the items that were used in the church when my grandparents got married. That was close to 100 years.

I have sold antique sterling and silver plated items before and received complaints from the buyers because I cleaned them. Some buyers prefer them with the tarnish and patina. Some like them clean.
Its a toss up but I no longer clean any vintage or antique items and leave it up to the buyer to do that.

Can you quess what these all might be worth. Or should I sell them individually. They were wrapped in plastic for years. My mother had told me they were used in the catholic church the day my grandparents married. Which was around 1918 or 1919

While I hope for your sake they are older, I have collected vintage and antique Catholic items for over 30 years. People say rooms of my home look like a church. Other than the bottle I don't think any itmes are 100 years old. The chalices seem far more modern to me. The ones from the era you hope for are more ornate. The criucifix is most likely mid century at best. It's painted wood? I just really think everything but the bottle is more in the 50's range. Sorry and hope I'm wrong.

Thank You for you response. Not having anyone still around to really authenticate these items are hard. I know they have all been in a bag together forever. I'm thinking they might have been in a communion box or such at one time. The bottle is the best condition out of all of them. What do you think those 2 little brass looking things are. Could they also be snuffers.

You should look at the hallmark on the underside of the goblets/chalices. If marked then research it and that will tell you how old they are. Just my two "sense"
