| INDEX | ALL SILVER |
| DESCRIPTION | Superb twenty-eight piece antique English Victorian solid sterling silver double struck Fiddle, Thread & Shell
pattern canteen with no engraving. Mostly by the two pre-eminent flatware makers of the mid-nineteenth century at their very best. No expense was spared
making these pieces. The silver is lusciously generous throughout, designed not just to impress your friends but to last several lifetimes too. The fork
tines will always be the first parts to show wear but here there is none. All tines are as long and level as the day that they were made. The canteen
contains six of each of the main pieces but further serving items and additional place settings are still readily available in this pattern making it an
ideal starter canteen or wedding gift. CONTENTS
