Featured I think I've done well for $50 total

Hey again everyone,

I quick deal went through online, and I just picked these up. Everything in the photo was $50. I think I did good considering the 8 flower spoons in the top of the photo are Reed & Barton sterling; the set seems to sell between $80-$140ish. Personally I thought the spoons and fork on the top left were too pretty to pass up.

 

those flower spoons are darling....

 

I agree, Nate. A good deal indeed. The large floral pieces on the left look so familiar, but my brain and body are very tired today, so I haven't been able to find them. If no one else does by tomorrow or so, I try to look again.

 

I haven't tried to figure it out yet either, but here's what the marks look like:

 

First one is International Silver, borrowed from Simpson Hall & Miller.
Second is Alvin, later acquired by Gorham.

 

The International pattern is Frontenac. https://www.sterlingflatwarefashions.com/Patterns/Intl4.html

 

The Alvin pattern looks like Old Orange Blossom, although you should check it against the picture on this page. https://www.sterlingflatwarefashions.com/Patterns/Alvin4.html

 

I think you nailed both of them!

 

I like the itty-bitty spoon/ladle. Mustard?

 

Good! The brain still has some grey matter that works!

 

It would help to get a length for it, but it does look likely to me.

 

Or maybe for salt? It's small even by comparison with the sugar tongs, so perhaps too small for a mustard pot?

 

Could be, it’s super tiny, I don’t think it would be practical for anything else

 

Very nice silver whisperer.

 

WOW!!!! SUCH A HAUL, Mr NATE!!!! It's ALL GORGEOUS!!!!! AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! LOVE the Asparagus tongs and all of the Flower spoons too.....but then again, it's ALL lovely!!!!

 

Another great haul,Nate ! You must be finding all the sterling for the rest of us,its been GRIM here. I havent found so much as a spoon in well over a month. And I go searching 2-3-4 times a week.I even drove up US1 today and went to some thrifts and shops in small towns near Jax,nada !

 

GREAT finds Nate ... WELL DONE !!! .. Joy.

 

Johnny I hope you keep working at it and find some silver goodies. Someday when I leave this magical place, I'll come back to reality where silver finds are few and far between, which is why I'm trying to spend as much time as possible hunting while I'm here.
