The lady at the church led me to believe these 3 pieces may now be worth a couple of hundred thousand dollars. They do not look that great but are important period pieces. In 1750's or 1760's a pewter smith that ended up being world famous for his work made two "copies" of the Flagon. Both of these are owned by the church and I also have pictures of them. They look the same but do not have the same etchings that the Martin Weybrecht has piece has. All his works are now very very valuable and since he made copies of the piece donated by Martin Weybrecht it is now also very valuable. The piece is priceless to the church due to its history.
