Author	Topic: Oriental silverware?
stormb333 Posts: 4 Registered: May 2006	posted 05-22-2006 03:36 PM [26-1062] Hi, I was hoping someone could help me identify this silverware set I bought from a garage sale. I'm not sure if it is silver, the box and the ware are all unmarked. Seems to be a oriental mask and a fan on the ends. Also the butter knife seems to be very square. ------------------ Brandy IP: Logged

stormb333 Posts: 4 Registered: May 2006	posted 05-22-2006 04:08 PM Hi Dale, I'm afraid I'm just a junk collector. I love old things and yard sales. I found two silverware sets one was a Rogers and this set I just can't find anything about it. I know nothing about silver. So I thought I would try this forum. IP: Logged

Dale Posts: 2132 Registered: Nov 2002	posted 05-22-2006 05:51 PM I've had pieces of this before. And no clue what it is. Nice design, good lines, klutzy execution tho. It looks to me like a give away item from the 20's or 30's. It might go with a glass, china or other type of pattern. My main suspect is that this conforms to some line of cosmetics package design.
