4 Teaspoons
4 Dessert Spoons
3 Vogue Forks
4 Vogue Knives
1 Sugar Spoon
1 Butter Knife
Also included in this lot is the Original Walnut Wooden Case that is lined with Pacific Silver Cloth to help prevent tarnish. I am also providing all of the original paperwork that came along with this purchase back on April 4, 1949 by a Miss Hazel out of New Holland, PA. including but not limited to: Original Bill of Sale, SILVERQUETTE (A quick guide to correct table setting by Home Decorators, Inc., "A Treasured Possession" pamplet, Guarantee's that came with the original sale, Insurance Certificate, a letter from State House Sterling's President, E. E. Serverson, and a Warranty Bond. + More.
Please note: There are only 3 forks (not 4) in this set.
These sterling silver pieces weigh a total of: 500 grams exactly (not including the knives) - knives are typically estimated to be 20%-30% silver in weight. So each knife weighs 69 grams - 20% of 69 = 13.8 grams of silver/knife x 4 knives = 55.2 grams of silver in the 4 knives. So, in all, there is roughly 555 grams of sterling silver contained in these 17 pieces. The current price of silver is 79 cents/gram.
