I purchased this set of silverware from a thrift store and paid $7 for the lot. After doing some research online, discovered they are bone and steel and were made during the Civil War Era.

Very nice, but not pewter - pewter doesn't rust. Only the handles contain pewter.
This set is similar to yours, but carries maker marks:

Great finds. Genuine antiques there.
