This Reddit user's thrift store haul is a perfect example of why you should always check your grab bags for any overlooked trinkets when you're finished shopping.
"Found an overlooked sterling bowl in a grab bag!" the OP commented under the post in response to another user stunned by the lucky haul.
The bowl was supposedly crafted by iconic American silversmith Paul Revere himself.
"Exemplar Paul Revere silver bowl, very nice if it's genuine!" one user commented.
"Right! This place has been getting pricier and better at finding overlooked things with value, so this was a score!" the OP responded to another comment under the post.
Most of the comments just said "What!?" in shock and amazement at the rare find.
