<p>[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 1419472, member: 59"]The large fork's handle is mostly MOP, not usually used for a meat fork, but not a sin if you do. Those 2 pickle/olive forks are recent. I am only curious to see better pictures of the handle designs on the 2 stacks of teaspoons on the left and to see what is underneath a narrower spoon 4th on the right. But curiosity isn't worth that much. Without more information like marks and maker names, I wouldn't even remotely consider the lot. And FYI - that box is a cheap plywood version and I would not trust the faded fabric to be in good enough shape chemically to keep tarnish off the contents. I see these at $10 or less here. EDIT - I want to make sure you all understand that the $10 is for the box alone not the contents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
