Let's offer up an apology to Messrs Hammerstein and Kern, then start off with all the things they aren't: heavy (weight is 3.8 oz. Troy each), perfect (see third photo), finest quality, or antique. So they are? Cheap, rather elegant looking, and guaranteed to hold whatever liquid you might choose to imbibe. Height 3 7/8 inches.
length 5 1/8 inches, monogrammed obverse "PDS" in trailing Art Nouveau script, a few very minor scratches but fine overall condition. Could one wish for no mono, or perhaps a nice Old English "S"? Yes indeed, but this is one of few sets we've owned in over twenty years...
no monogram, fine condition, length 4 1/2 inches. A splendid little example of British Arts & Crafts silver, and with the dollar down in the doldrums our price probably amounts to no more than a few quid... Please see third photo for marks.
length 7 5/8 inches, excellent condition, no monogram. Go cut yourself a hole in the ice, dredge up a few trout, and buy our fork to serve them. No, wait, first click your mouse, send us and order, then proceed as directed...
length 8 3/4 inches, monogrammed "C" (script, obverse), excellent condition, early "patent applied for" mark. Arguably the most commonly recast piece in the history of silver flatware, we are pleased to offer a rare original.
length of muddler 8 1/2; length of spoons 4 1/4 inches, no monogram, gilt bowls. Aside from a small cut on reverse of muddler (see photo number four), the condition is flawless. We consider this pattern to be one of R & B's most pleasing designs.
length 7 7/8 inches, conjoined script monogram "MHC" in bowl, cast, chased and reminiscent of Martelé flatware (see Carpenter plate 249 p. 235). Marked only "Sterling Black Starr & Frost".
