I bought this set at a thrift store.

It is missing a spoon but I also believe it is missing something else. From doing my research I believe it was made before the 1930s. From what I translated from this paper I found inside of it I'm assuming the people that are listed here are the makers or people that worked for the company. I just researched two of them I didn't get really far into it but they passed away in the 1950s so that's what makes me think that this was made prior to 1930 it's a guesstimate. The Makers Mark is different from what's on the website so that's why I was asking. The detail is amazing and spoons. I'll attach the pictures and you tell me if it's missing something.

I'm sorry I was trying to figure out howto embed those pictures I couldn't figure it out I'm sorry I thought it said you could just create a link and then it said to use imager. I'm sorry I overlooked the appraisal/value part I'm sorry about that. So this is a pretty common set then or cuz I couldn't find the same exact ones on eBay or Google or anything

Sometimes identical items are found online, most of the time they are not.
The mark is of earlier period, I suppose.

So regarding the paper that was inside of the little box I started to research some of the names on there and they passed away in the 50s. Were those the names of the people that worked for the company at the time is that a common thing that comes in the box like that I'm just really curious
