Re: Japanese carving set
I have a set almost identical to this but the knife and fork are separate. The set was purchased in Japan by my parents around 1947-1949. I have no idea of their monetary value, other than the fact that they have sentimental value for me.
My father was in the Air Force and I was born at Tachikawa Air Force Base (now long closed). We lived there two years so this carving set was purchased at some point during that time.
I hope that helps a little.
