[QUOTE="KSW, post: 771499, member: 8708"]Just leaving the car boot sale and everyone was packing up and I noticed this box, opened it- cutlery definitely isn’t my thing but the twisty handle fork caught my eye. The chap said- please take the whole box for £2 so having decided I couldn’t go too far wrong I brought it home. Thought it was all plate and then found 4 USA forks- one marked sterling and two with USA Sterling oddly scratched onto the handle. Does USA Sterling not have the 925 or are they plate? A cake knife and fork- only plated I think but intricately engraved about some centenary. Some nice deco plate cutlery. Probably worthless but I like deco stuff! Also a very nice knife sharpener that someone has used to knock in nails :rolleyes:and a pair of nutcrackers- both test as silver but maybe plate?. Presumably the only way to check is to file a hole in them :yawn: that is against my religion!
