<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ola402, post: 4273368, member: 182&quot;]When my mom was about 7 years old, someone (I suspect her Aunt on dad&#039;s side) started giving her a sterling spoon every year on her birthday, engraved with her first initial.&nbsp; She apparently stopped when she was 18.&nbsp; My mom split them between me and my sister.&nbsp; I gave my half to my sister because she has a daughter and I have only sons.&nbsp; I think the family silver should go to girls if at all possible. </p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe to go in the hope chest?&nbsp; Dunno, but they are really nice and my sis uses them when serving coffee to guests.&nbsp; There are all kinds of reasons for initialing silver, and back then it was considered a must have with the &quot;good&quot; dishes and crystal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
