Here are 3 large bread knives with steel blades, one has a sterling silver handle fully hallmarked for Sheffield 1900, the other 2 have silver plated handles.

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.

A set of 6 early c.20th Chinese 'good luck' spoons, handmade and having applied mother of pearl panels set with gold coloured character. In mock-croc case.

An interesting assortment of pieces all with sterling silver handles and steel uppers. Includes a 26.7cm pistol grip handled Trotter family branch crested dinner knife (motto 'festina lente') hallmarks rubbed, 25cm meat fork (hallmarks rubbed), 27.8cm bright cut dinner knife (lion passant & duty mark only fairly rubbed), 22cm 4 pronged dinner fork (Sheffield 1828 part rubbed) and a 25.8cm early Victorian dinner knife with rubbed crest, hallmarks rubbed, blade marked Thornhill London.

These are really quite incredible little pieces! There are 5 forks and 5 knives, they are unmarked silver plated, and each handle is a semi-precious stone including carved amber (with inclusions), carved amethyst quartz, other quartz, carved rock crystal, agates etc. Forks range in size from 10cm to 10.5cm, knives 11.8-12cm. We assume they were intended for use as date or olive utensils. Probably dating c. 1920, origin middle eastern at a guess.
