IT IS OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY.

Here we have a quite exceptional and quite lovely 24 place setting of hallmarked silver cutlery of quite superb gauge and weight.Hallmarks are deep and clear.

The condition is terrific and it looks almost unused!


All pieces are assayed in Sheffield and dated 1948 (year letter F) and they have a makers mark for top manufacturers Harrison Bros & Howson.The cutlery knives are by Carrington 130 Regent Street and stamped as such to their flawless stainless steel blades.

This is a lovely antique lot and a must have.

A really delightful set!


It comes in 17 plush green anti tarnish cutlery wraps to store the canteen pieces in.This huge canteen is so extensive it needs that many wraps to store it all in!
