6 x forks, 6 x spoons and 1 x large serving spoon in a satin lined burgandy case with a 'wood like' external case.
2 sets of teaspoons:
Set 1 has different coloured knobs at the end of the teaspoons and the description on the back of the stems - EPNS Made in Sheffield England
Set 2 teaspoons are slightly smaller and only has green knobs at the end of the teaspoons. No word description on the spoons.
Henry Wilkinson & Co. Probably around the 1850's
Three symbols: face, crown, crossed keys
Silver plate
This is a carving board in very good condition. It has beautiful grape motif around its border and on its legs.
I've done some reasearch on this object myself but I can't figure out what it's used for! So far I know it's from 1862 judging by the letter hallmark on the bottom, it's also from Sheffield in England manufactured by James Dixon and Sons. It's sterling 925. I have a feeling I'm missing a piece to this- maybe a glass dish that goes in the top?
Purchased recently at an estate sale, but I don't know what this item is. It is visually similar to a Silent Butler, but this silver-plated item has a hollow, enclosed reservoir, indicating that it is designed to hold hot water, which would hint that it is a serving dish of some sort, perhaps for porridge.
The hallmark stamped on the underside is "Sheffield", with two 5-point stars. I cannot find any information about this hallmark.
If you know what this is, or can point me in the direction for finding out it's identity or value, please let me know!
