| INDEX | ALL SILVER |
| DESCRIPTION | Six antique English early Victorian table knives with pitch loaded sterling silver Old English Thread and Shell pattern handles and new taper point satin finish stainless steel blades. The handles have a crest to one side and one handle is larger than the others so was probably the carving fork handle originally. This set would also work well with Fiddle Thread & Shell pattern flatware. |
