A large collection of assorted vintage and modern flatware, kitchenalia, and carving tools. The lot includes a variety of silver-plated and stainless steel flatware in patterns including Fiddle, Old English, and shell-motif designs. Featured is a presentation set of six silver-plated teaspoons with shell-moulded bowls and decorative handles, housed in a blue velvet-lined case.
The collection includes a vintage carving set with handles crafted from stag horn, comprising a carving knife, fork, and sharpening steel. Also present are multiple knives with cream-coloured celluloid handles, some in original cardboard or paper packaging. Kitchen utensils include a wire potato masher, a large stainless steel slotted spoon, a heavy-duty serving spoon, and two vintage black-painted metal mechanical can openers.
Additional items consist of a small vintage metal spring balance scale with a suspension ring, a pair of faceted glass salt and pepper shakers with pierced silver-toned metal tops, and a selection of modern kitchen knives with various handles in white plastic, black plastic, wood, and a purple-handled serrated knife. While marks are visible on several pieces of flatware, including EPNS stamps, specific maker names are not clearly identifiable.
Condition report:
The items are in varied condition, generally ranging from fair to good. Vintage flatware shows age-appropriate wear, surface scratching, and significant tarnish. Some iron components, particularly the mechanical can openers and the spring balance scale, show surface oxidation and paint loss. Celluloid handles on some knives exhibit minor discolouration. The cardboard packaging and presentation cases show structural wear and staining.
