A very fine looking large basting spoon (these also make great serving spoons!)

This is quite an interesting case - its is made from steel that has been deliberately burnished (fire blackened) and has a sapphire-opal coloured 'stone' set button in what appears to be a gold mount (untested). The interior is engraved 'F.E.ELLIOTT FROM CAPT THOMPSON THE CASTLE DOVER 1900-1906'.

A nice small cigar/cheroot cutter with a gently planished (hand-hammered) surface. Simply marked '930S' - probably Norwegian (Marius Hammer in particular used this standard occasionally). The cutting aperture is quite small at 1cm.

An interesting piece - the bowl is not far off an average tablespoon in length but shallower and is nicely engraved with a flower. The bowl is silver soldered to the long twisted handle. There are absolutely no markings - it may be a student silversmiths piece or similar.
