I doubt they sold many as I can not see it working well.

Actually it may have ben signed on one of the edges that was cut off. The smooth edge on left side in your last picture shows the kind of edge that should be seen all around the panel. When engraving you should never cut a line that goes off the plate.

Closest I can find in my flatware service is a sugar sifter... and it is completely useless for that purpose.

Looking at the gravers used to cut the pattern I would say it is pre-1870. This was cut by someone skilled, well above a practice sheet, and yet after 1870 someone with this skill would have had a 4 or 5 line graver which was first used in the cross hatched shadows. This engraver did all his shadows...

It is a toilet set, button hook, nail file, nail buff, cleaning knife, small mirror (?), scissors, cosmetic jars.

If you had posted both pictures and said they were used by ladies, I might have thought it was for catching the skirt train when dancing... However! I will go real wild and suggest it is a hat hanging device, to be slipped over the brim to allow it to hang on a hook. Makes more sense than men needin...

Actually these were made in Asia, I am unsure of the company, but most were made C1980-90.

Way to go, Cheryl, always on the ball.

D.J.M. are someone's initials, The pattern has no specific meaning, just decorative.

Possibly an individual nut dish or ashtray for a dinner table (Actually meant to be shared by 2). otherwise it could have many uses at table.

Denim is usually 100% cotton, so it would work like any buffing cloth. Just remember you are abraiding the metal with this method so each time you wear away some metal...

At first I thought corn-on-the-cob, but unsure if corn is eaten that way in Sweden. Being short tined, it is used to press into something fairly firm, or broad.

A gaiter is is worn like a spat, it covers the leg from the knee to ankle over the pant leg and the top of the shoe/boot. They can be leather or cloth (or if you are an ancient Greek or Roman, bronze). They are worn when going through rough land or shubs to protect the pant and footware or to preven...

The spoon I had was #4 on the right hand page.

A serving dish for oyster crackers or maybe sardines? I had a Gorham spoon that would have matched those handles it was C.1900.

My service was assembled back in the early 1900's and is now used daily. Most of the pieces remain in the bank as I have little call for a service for 48, and who actually know how to use asparagus tongs these days. I keep a simple dinner service for 10 (8 pieces per, dinner knife, butter knife, sal...

Hi Miles, The top opens to allow lighting , grill and mother-of-pearl panel allow air in so the tobacco stays lit, the top rotates so you can turn it out of the wind. I have read they were popular during the last great war when you could be fined for smoking outdoors at night, which might explain th...

Ah, Trev, the site's Sherloc Holmes... I like that suggestion the best.

I generally associate ball feet with itens that have no base, wherein the balls are attached directly to the body or stubby legs. Ball feet on this pot would be truely vile and if damaged would be very likely to leave marks. Such damage would be difficult to disguise by fileing. Moreover there would...
