Silver spoons circa 1901
« on: March 08, 2013, 03:50:07 pm »
Hi, I received these spoons as a gift. They are in their original case which is silk lined and has BW Fase and Co on the inside of the case. There is 6 silver spoons in total and they are dated 1901. I have tried searching on the internet but I've not come across anything. Can anyone tell me anything else about these spoons and what their value is, Thanks

wendygn you have to resize your photos. Crop them first. Then hit additional options below and upload.

Your spoons are from Sheffield England and I believe the date is actually 1901. I don't see your maker, FSB Ltd, listed here, but I'm looking...

Just so you will know how to post the pics here,, all you do is hit the Reply at the bottom of the post,,on the left you will see Additional Options, click on that, then browse for your pics, after each one, click More Attachments for another one,, thenn when they are all on just click Post below that !! And thats it !!  You will have to resize the pics if the file is large !!  I use 1000KB when I resize mine but all cameras are different !! Try between 1000KB and 2000KB to start !! In your pics on your computer you can just point the cursor on the pic and it should tell you what size it is !! Of course my notebook is older that most !!  Have no idea with a smart phone ect !!

Wendygn, if you have the photos on Photo Bucket then you can upload them directly to your post on this Forum.

To do said:
1. sign in on Photo Bucket 
2. “click” the picture you want to upload and it will display in large format
3. go to the right side of the screen & down, where it states “Image Links” and click the “down” arrow
4. a “drop-down” window will appear with 4 selections
5. “click” the 2nd selection titled ‘Direct Link’ and it will auto “copy” the .jpg link
6. then switch screens to your post on this Forum and “paste” the .jpg link into your post
7. then “highlight” that link and “click” the …. Insert Image tab (2nd one, below the ‘talics tab)

Then go back to step #2 and repeat for additional photos

And ps: there is no Forum limitation on file size or # of photos via the above method .... because the photos are being uploaded directly to the viewer's own PC.

But, ... but, .... but Bigwull, ....... Texas is so BIG .... compared to Great Britain, to wit:

Country of Great Britain – Land Area -- 229,848 km2 (88,744.8 sq mi)
The State of Texas, US - Land Area -- 696,200 km2 (268,820 sq mi)


..... that Mart is mighty lucky just to have "barbwire" fence that runs out into the "boonies" where she lives ..... cause that "barbwire" fence is also the "telephone" wire.  ;D ;D ;D
