Description
My dad gave these to me and I can't figure out there value. There is no date anywhere, on the box, nowhere.
Unknown "swirl" design? The last 2 pictures I put are not of my actual flatware, but are the only 2 pictures I could find online with the same "supreme silverware" on each piece (no markings on the butter knives for some reason?).
49 pieces total:
8 butter knives
8 large spoons
8 large forks
7 small forks
16 small spoons
2 random don't know what there called but you can see them next to the forks in photos
Has a certificate that has info:
Guarantee SUPREME SILVERPLATE
MADE BY MASTER CRAFTSMEN
MERIDEN SILVER PLATE CO.
MERIDEN, CONNECTICUT
On the very bottom right corner, underneath the sentence: MADE BY THE WORLD'S LARGEST SILVERWARE MANUFACTURER....... It's blurry but it says:
PD 259 PRINTED IN U.S.A.
Is pd 259 a way to tell more about this??
On the box, shown in pictures, is a logo that says International Silver Co. (See pic)
Things I wish I knew:
Value
How old is this set? Why wouldn't there be a date anywhere?
How much percent is actual silver?
The pattern, is it rare or something? Swirl pattern with dots?
Whoever takes time to help me, thank you so much!!!

Re: SUPREME SILVERPLATE FLATWARE MERIDEN SILVER PLATE CO.
International Silver Co. and it's patterns are very well known, sets like this generally date from the second quarter of the 20th century. The demand for silverplated flatware is currently very limited, there is simply a huge amount of it in the market with very few buyers. Sets like these often go for less than $100.00.
Re: SUPREME SILVERPLATE FLATWARE MERIDEN SILVER PLATE CO.
Thank you for your response!
Do you happen to know where I could find this pattern online? Also, do you know how much actual "silver" there is on these?
