Duhme & Co., Cincinnati, "Thread" Three Piece Coin Silver Youth Set

$115.00 Price for the set.

Marked for the prominent Cincinnati firm of "Duhme & Co.," this 6" long fork, 6 3/8" knife, and 6" spoon set has additional provenance as each piece is engraved what appears to read, "Andrew K. Reuss" on the handle front and "Jan. 26th 1872." on the reverse.

Artfully crafted, the hollow handles have rounded ends with a "Thread" design and arum leaf detailing at the join with beaded and engraved banding.

The knife blade, fork, and spoon themselves are all solid silver, and each one is delicately engraved on the top surface with a period leaf, scroll and crosshatch design. The three items weigh 2.9 T. oz. combined.

In very good estate condition, the handles show light surface nicking, but are free of dents or splits. The spoon bowl remains well-shaped and is without bends. The fork tines are straight and even, showing only slight tip wear. The knife blade is flat, retains a rounded end, and is without creases. The finish on all three pieces shows an even, warm, patina.
