Got these from my Great Aunt who lived in New York City all her life and thought they were really cool. They are 6 1/4" salad servers, two sets, in the Acorn pattern and a 5 7/8" butter spreader in the Cactus. They are all in Fine/Very Good vintage condition except one spoon that has 3 chips in the bottom of the baklite bowl and one chip on top of the baklite handle...someone might have got mad at that spoon...what a shame! I suspect she bought them in the late 40's or early 50's when she worked on Fifth Avenue. I love these pieces!
Thanks, Bellin68. The weird thing is on set of the salad servers, the one with the chips and one of the forks have streaks in the bakelite like it was a bad casting. The other sald server set and the butter knife are really smooth and dark without imperfections.
