It's fun to look at and is much more substantial than the newer stainless steel stuff.

I love going through them at flea markets and thrifts shops. Their ornate handles are stunning! reenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11037125944228119347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5508733528711241001.post-279701554705017222012-10-08T21:29:22.172-04:002012-10-08T21:29:22.172-04:00That's so interesting!

I use a spooner to hold my mismatched teaspoons near the sugar bowl and the coffee maker. I find that I end up using the lovey finds rather than my matched set of stainless. Something about them makes my food taste special. The set of forks wrapped in ribbon was the set I grew up with as a child. One of my aunts worked at a silver plating company in Meriden, Connecticut. This quote is from Wikipedia- In the 1800s, Meriden earned the nickname "Silver City", due to the large number of cutlery and related products which were manufactured here by companies such as International Silver and Meriden Cutlery.suzieQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04883115039145453043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5508733528711241001.post-55360100448609160132012-10-08T14:53:11.549-04:002012-10-08T14:53:11.549-04:00You should, I use mine all the time!You should, I use mine all the time!Laura Beth Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01480311392497475468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5508733528711241001.post-54426129964553397742012-10-08T12:28:01.335-04:002012-10-08T12:28:01.335-04:00Very cool!
