    Sheffield 1918 sterling handle butter knives.
    I'm unfamiliar with the design & maker, but they're very nice.

    This isn't really the place to find values....unless someone feels like making a call.

    The letter at the end of the mark is a date mark, and it looks like this "a" is from 1918, as far as I can tell.

    scroll down to the 1918 date
    Sterling handle, butter knives (I think?), Sheffield, maker is Yates Brothers, 1918.
    Here are some completed listings.

    Again, wait for another of the knowledgeable silver folks to come along, as I am learning too.:cat:

    If you look at completed listings which I put a link to above in post #12, it should show you approximately what they sell for on ebay. The amounts in green are items that actually sold.

    Of course they're worth something.......& Tye gave you a good start with the eBay link.....from there you'll have to do some digging & research to nail down a value you're happy with.
    It looks like you have a dozen , in mint condition, & again....maybe a more prized design than those I've just seen !
    Happy hunting !!:)
