Vintage Canteens and Cased Cutlery sets etc

A large canteen of Pinder Bros of Sheffield 'Consort' pattern, designed in 1958. 8 place settings of dinner fork, dinner knife, side fork, side knife, tea knife, fish fork, fish knife, dessert spoon, soup spoon, tea spoon, coffee spoon + 4 tablespoons + 3 piece carving set. Total of 95 pieces.

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.

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.
