Sterling 6-piece Salt & Pepper Set
« on: July 20, 2012, 12:50:52 pm »
I can't find a set like this anywhere. It's Black, Starr & Frost. Set includes 2 shakers, 2 cellars and 2 small spoons. Bottom says "Black, Starr & Frost New York Sterling 18" I am wondering if anyone knows the value or can steer me in the right direction. Thank you!

http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/961753 These are a little different, but the same brand. They ate up for auction, but it will give an idea. I'll keep checking. Actually yours are nicer. I love the set!

http://www.hancocks-london.com/content/black-starr-frost  They would have to be before 1920. After 1920 Black, Starr & Frost partnered with Gorham. Thus, it would say Black, Starr & Frost-Gorham.

Ditto the question!

Sterling sets haven't dropped much in price with the market.
