server length 10 1/8 inches, a tad of wear to the high points but good overall condition, monogrammed "HLC". Priced reasonably-- you might even say it's downright cheap...
spoon, length 5 3/4 inches, excellent condition, no monogram. The T-monarch-S trademark (see second photo) is ringing only the faintest of bells in our memory, but Thomae silver company is also a possibility.
another item in our albeit far too brief series for those with Park Slope taste and a Canarsie budget, length 10 1/4 inches, good weight, excellent condition, monogrammed "MS" (block, obverse). Both bowl (four by 2 3/4 inches) and tines are extra-large in relation to the overall length. Why is this important? For those like Yours Truly, who enjoy a bigger portion, of course...
circa 1825, length 8 7/8+ inches, good weight, monogrammed "N" (script, obverse), single struck. One has a minimal amount of tip and pattern wear but with the exception of a small test mark the others are pristine.
interior dimensions 2 1/8+ by 1 3/4 inches, hinge is slightly askew (please see third photo) and there are a few very minor dents but excellent overall condition, no monogram, maker GWD, Chester 1882. Not strictly speaking Judaica as it would have been a "good luck" symbol in that era, but could nonetheless make a stunning Bat Mitzvah gift, we think.
with four applied characters and "bamboo" border, monogrammed "OS", diameter 1 7/8; height 1 1/4 inches, excellent condition, marked with ideograms only (please see third photo).
