[QUOTE="MrNate, post: 1567385, member: 5515"]Good Evening Everyone! Last week I put up a post for "an all new sniffing game" and the moment of truth has arrived! Admittedly, I wasn't sure how good this find was going to be, but I was 100% blown away by what I just opened up. So I was actually pretty nervous with this find and here is why: the seller provided me with tracking information, and the package was supposed to arrive in 2-3 days max. The package showed that it was in transit, but there weren't any updates for a few days. Quite happily, it showed up today on the 5th day, I don't know what happened nor do I care because they showed up. Pictures are below...for those that didn't see my previous post, I paid $40 total (there was other flatware, but all plated). This is one of my all time favorite flatware finds. The set below.... made in France by Laurent Labbe between 1829-1852. I believe I'm looking at the 95% silver Minerva mark. The weight of these pieces just doesn't translate through the photos.
