[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 4461701, member: 51"]These were at an estate sale last weekend, and as soon as I saw the "900" on each piece, I grabbed the set of forks and knives, $10 for the set. They felt kind of weighty in the hand, like substantial pieces, although they're somewhat diminutive in size.
