[QUOTE="Bookahtoo, post: 186196, member: 31"]The set looks like it came in the box, which is paper covered cardboard with a satin lining. There are wood pieces underneath the cloth to hold the spoons snugly but most of them have fallen over - the glue has probably dried out. I don't know that these are Turkish, but when similar came up on Google that's what people were calling them. There is Arabic looking writing on the coins. The person I got the set from said he had them tested at a jewelers and the jeweler said the coins were silver. I said what about the rest of it, and he said, I don't know, he only tested the coins. This sounds kind of sketchy but I bought them anyway. Does anyone know when sets like this were popular and anything else about them?
