<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 574421, member: 36"]WWII might as well, judging from the date. The last date is 1939, the year the War started, and it may never have started up again. </p><p><br /></p><p>Got out hunting today, and found a sale at a house where the people had just moved in. Sounds bad, right? I spent about $50, with [USER=2844]@Any Jewelry[/USER] 's voice in my ear. One of the sellers was Dutch by birth, some of whose grandparents had lived in Indonesia. Recognize those earrings? (LOL) I may have overpaid but how do you resist provincial Dutch silver? The cuff links were sold as Dutch too, but those garters on the top tell another story. The ivory and hand-cut silver (probably) bracelet came from another sale. The pin has a funky safety on the C clasp; a piece folds up to keep the pin in place. It has to have marks but I haven't found them yet. The spoon has funny marks and wasn't cheap. It looks like a Britannia mark on the back and C&Co for a manufacturer. The little box has wiggle work engraving and a birdie on top. No clue what that is. The cup either; it has a mark shaped like an English horn. </p><p><br /></p><p>I seriously need to get some better pictures of the back of the spoon and that pin.
