Ding Ding, I'm back!
3 Peices, found recently.
2 appear to have bone or ivory handles
my guess is that they're all silver-plated
cleaned up very well
attractive bowls to the spoons
the largest spoon may be brass underneath,...does that sound right?
When I first saw them I got all excited,....new shapes, designs, combination of materials,......and silver, I thought.
English?, American?
Do you suppose they have special uses?
Thanks, a thousand times thanks!

Very pretty!...:-)
The fork looks to be a pickle fork and the others, jam sugar that sort of thing, I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, very nice!...:-)

Hi Tonino! I think they are all plate. Jam, pickle and jam as inky said, IMHO. The mark is a pseudo hallmark and is not silver. It's English plate from Sheffield. The mark in the centre is a 'target'.

Thank You Kevin,
I always feel better with a word from you
buona notte, mio amico
Dormi bene! Sono le diciotto meno venticinque qui a Sydney. Almost time to eat!
No jam, just the pickles. Dieting after Xmas excesses!
