Unpacking old alpakka silver

I just opened a box of things I hadn't seen since 1997 and found some Alpakka silver pieces. Despite the name, it's really an alloy of nickel, copper, and zinc, no actual silver. It was commonly silver-plated because of its natural shine and durability. The pieces look nice, but unfortunately, they're worth almost nothing today. Has anyone collected or sold Alpakka silver before?
 
Oh, the good old German silver :) Those things rarely have any monetary value, but can be valuable to people for personal reasons. Don't bother selling them, keep them as a memory and gift them to someone close who'll appreciate them.
