Mother Of Pearl Fruit Cutlery

[Ipcress]

Contact for what ??  Its a fruit cutlery set by a well known maker ??  What were you wanting to know ??

Id like to know a Year it was made.  If the pattern has a name.  Along with a good estimate of price.

I've given one. Having done this stuff for a long time, including Sheffield silverware and plated items.

These aren't just wild guesses.

" the mark of a cutlery maker, rather than a silversmith " same thing in Sheffield for many companies. Not called Cutlers for nothing.

After Jonathan Cape had printed the first edition of the Bond title " Moonraker ", someone noticed a variation on the printing. On page 10 in many copies, the word " shoot " has no ' t ' . It fell off or was  covered by something during the process ( some people believe it was initially covered up then became clear later )

It happens in printing / stamping.

The big difference is also noted that the &S are together for the maker that ya'll are wanting to link it to...This one isn't.

There are also alot of makers that try and make their identification marks ever-so-close to well known ones to try and gain success from their coat tails.  So, I am not on the bandwagon on this one.

Thats the same one I posted earlier but he didn`t go for it !!

I have looked at that over and over....Unless the company changed their lettering styles for different sets (don't think they would but stranger things have happened)

Could it be?  Yes...but I wouldn't bank on it.  They don't match up for me if I was selling it to state it was that.

If you look at the enlarged pic tat the poster put...it is pretty distinct and doesn't look worn or faint.

I have looked everywhere and could not find anything with an F !!  I did look up the history of Elliot and it said there specialties were Razors, Dessert sets, Palette knives and Scissors !!

I think that ..he thinks..that he,s got something unique....trouble is..if we can,t find...any ref..to the stamp...then...he may just have to accept it.....

Here's another possibility to consider...

Thanks everyone. I'm sticking a $365  Price tag on it due to Condition age and material. Appreciate all the help.

Don`t think that would help on this one Rauville since it is clearly marked EP !!  I mean couldn`t pass as sterling !!

Let us know how it goes.
