Silver Spoon and Fork Christening set.

4 June 2009

Comments Off

This silver fork and spoon set I believe was given as a Christening gift, the initials on each seems to be ASS, so certainly for the same person.
The fork was assayed in London 1920 made by Wakely and Wheeler it measures 14.5cm, the spoon was assayed in Sheffield dated 1919 and made by Charles William Fletcher, the combined weight is 49 grams.
The set comes in a good case.

Silver Spoon Fork Set Boxed HM Sheffield 1910

Comments Off

I believe this silver spoon and fork is a christening set, it’s essayed Sheffield dated 1910 and made by George Howson. The set comes in a good box with a nice finished interior, the spoon measures 14.3cm and the fork 15cm, the combined weight 42g.
The design is clean and simple, both items have initials, I think they are FPW or PFW.

Plain but good quality silver cigarette case assayed in Birmingham 1919, made by Duncan & Scobbie St Vincent Street, Glasgow.
The case measures 8cm square and 1.5cm wide, in total it weighs a good 96 grams. The inside is very clean with a cigarette band holder on each side of the case, on the front of the case it has some initials but due to the ornate writing it’s hard to tell what the initials are, it could be a crest.
