That's hard to answer without knowing the pattern number, condition, age, etc. If the creamer and sugar belong to one of the more common silver plated sets, they are probably worth no more than $10-15 together. If they are part of a rarer set, you may get three or four times as much, depending on demand. If they are part one of the few patterns made of sterling, they could be worth several hundred dollars. Look for the number (other than 1883) stamped on the bottom of the pieces. The genuine silver pieces carry one of the following numbers: 118, 142, 144, 149, 164, 250, 400, 700 or 1636. These will also have the word "Sterling" stamped on the bottom of each piece. If it doesn't say "sterling," it isn't.
