length 8 7/8 inches, one has a stainless blade which sadly has been set in with lead solder (the handle rattles a bit; there's a minor dent), the other an original blunt s/p blade, monogrammed "BHS".
and alas we have only one, but it's entirely possible to hold a knife (see scintillating action photo at enlargement number four) with a single, though not a log. Height 2 1/2; length 3 inches, weight .84 oz. Troy, well cast and in excellent condition.
in the form of miniature 18th century porringers, length across handles 3 1/4; diameter of opening 1 3/4 inches, some minor etching of interior (see third photo) as is often seen in salt cellars but fine overall condition, no monogram, weight 3.31 oz. Troy the pair.
engraved in bowl, whether it was a souvenir from that leafy suburb of Northampton or a gift to some long ago Florence we'll never know, length 7 1/8 inches, slight wear to crown (reverse) but fine overall condition, weight 1.68 oz Troy.
Bennett & Caldwell, Philadelphia circa 1845, length 5 inches, weight 2.12 oz. Troy, monogrammed "EK" in script at end (see third photo). Some may find it hard to get excited about tea tongs, but considering the size this pair is truly massive and also in superb condition.
height 6 inches, widest section of base 5 1/8 inches, superb color and condition, monogram "GVL" (?) script obverse. We've bought and sold many Gorham novelty items, but this is certainly among the best of its class...
