A beautiful suite of 7 tablespoons in fiddle thread, early electroplate and very superior quality plating. 2 are by Elkington Mason accurately dating to 1851, the other 5 are marked 'O&B M' for the silversmiths/retailer Ollivant & Botsford of Manchester. Crested with a collared and chained lions head.

A nice looking serving spoon with a hollow pewtery-silver colour metal handle set with a red glass cabochon, end of handle with a swirling turquoise coloured cabochon (not sure what material it is) and with a shell bowl with applied metal rim glued to the main stem. No idea of origin, not seen another one. Comes with a smaller similarly made one with a shell terminal and shell bowl.

These really are fun, not seen another pair like them before, scissor action handles that extend or retract the overall length.

An interesting set comprising of 2 condiment bottles with stoppers, 2 shakers for salt & pepper, a mustard pot with a nice silver plated spoon and unusually a pickle jar. It appears to be a lacquered chrome or similar plating (pewter in colour).

This is a very strange piece by Martin Hall & Co of Sheffield, a long and narrow serving dish in the shape of a leaf (we don’t think it would have been used for celery), raised on twig form crossed legs. We have never seen another like it in the last 23 years. Made c. 1875.

A good looking single flute epergne in EPNS and press moulded hobnail glass.

A good vintage boxed set of 6 soup spoons by Viners in their Love Story pattern. These are the original version.

A nice set of 12 corn cob holders by Bonzer in original box. The box originally held 24 and was obviously being used by a retailer to display them and sell them off for 7shillings and 6 pence per pair.

A vintage suite of 8 circular dinner table placemats + 3 centre of table rectangular mats. The 8 mats are in original Cavalier boxes. These will look splendid on a Christmas dining table.
