Here is an interesting match up. Those on the left are the servers from my previous post. They measure 10 1/8" long and are marked Those on the right are from an extensive service made for my grandparents. They measure 8 3/4" and are marked I can date them between 1926 and 1931; the former was the year Heinrich Eicher, who had previously made all their silver, died and the latter, the year my grandfather died. I know flatware was marked S/M/L for size, but what does F mean? IP: Logged |

Kalo called these pretty paired objects chop sets or fish sets. The Kalo model number system was a bit haphazard. A scant few entries make intuitive sense -- tomato servers were marked with a TS stamp, one form of stamp box was marked SB, etc. But apart from the S/M/L mentioned above, and the sequential numbering in the Park Ridge years and a bit afterward, the marks don't seem to have much of a logical basis. For instance, we have Kalo salad sets (large matched fork and spoon sold sometimes with a salad bowl, sometimes with a flatware set, sometimes by themselves) with the following stamps: 3, 5, 7, 7Y, 10, 10L, 11, 14, 14*, 20, 21, 23, 26L, 27, 45, 7616, E936, F10P, F3, F725, F726, F870L, G144S, G44, G44S, and NS20 The last mark starting with NS signifies Kalo's aborted Norse Line. The asterisk after the 14 was sometime used on Kalo flatware and holloware. We also have several Kalo salad sets with no numbers. IP: Logged |
