Can anyone tell me if these are worth anything of value? I'm downsizing and moving from a house to an apartment soon. The longer plate had a marking on it saying "Leonard Silverplate". And the circluler one has a "QUEEN CITY" marking on it.

Since there is only a small amount of silver on each item, there is no melting value for the silver plate. Silver-plated items are only worth what the buyer has to offer. Silver plate value is more about the antique market than it is about the metal market.
