Description

We have a brush, comb, and mirror set from the early 1900's made by R. Wallace and Sons. It is .925 sterling silver and in the beautiful "petunia" pattern, numbered 5500. I was able to find it in one of their catalogs from the 1910's but unable to find any information on it's current value. They are very sturdy and fairly large, and the mirror is beveled and in exquisite condition with virtually no spots or distortions even though you can tell it is old. The brush is full and not missing any brissles, and looks like it has seen very little use. The comb has all of its teeth and is in great condition as well. Can anyone tell us what items like this have sold for at auction? I can't find anyone else with a set like it or auction sites that have sold anything similar in sterling.
