Value of Silver Trays?

A rectangular silver tray.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.

Silver plated items have no value. I see them given away all the time.

Silver plate trays are not very popular right now and are usually difficult to sell.
Take a look at the for-sale listings on this site to get an idea of what sellers are asking for similar pieces:
