I bought this very pretty and ornate set at a tag sale here in Chicopee, MA. It was made by the Ames Mfg. Company, which was located here in town, and is most notable for their civil war swords, which are very collectible today. (The buildings are still here, by the way, and are being converted to retail/condo space.) I have been unable to find out much about their silver/silverplate, however, and would like to know what this set could be worth. I think it is a presentation set - the medallions are engraved "G....(something, can't make it out)...Morrison". It is in beautiful condition, with the exception of a missing lid on the...sugar bowl? Anything you can tell me about this would be greatly appreciated! Also, should I polish it? Thanks so much for any information you can provide.
Happy New Year!
