I don't know what fable this may represent, but when I scrolled down the picture of the frog jumping out at me, scared the bejezus out of me! By the way, great item. .
Unless it is marked "Sterling" or after this great site "925-1000" or a veriation there of, the item you have is likely plated. How did you determine it was 1939? Sorry, I do not know the pattern, perhaps someone with more knowledge will let us know.

Hello again Louis- The box is lovely, is it plated and how big is it? I am just wondering what it might have been used for, since this information might prompt someone here to know when it was made. When posting, it is always a good idea to offer as much information as possible so members will have ...
