Please examine photos. They are THIS item and are part of the description. I do not use stock photos or photos of other people’s items.
This is a part of a mixed set of 950 silver flatware I am listing by type/piece. See below for info on total pieces available. They are all in superb condition with no monograms. Each piece is marked with the Premier Mercure "1" mark of 950 fine silver and the A Star F in lozenge mark of Auger Freres. The mark is listed at the AJU jewelry sight as that of Alphonse Auger (active 1862-1900), master goldsmith and jeweler. The mark of Alphonse, however, is A Star A (registered 1889, withdrawn 1900). Alphonse had two sons who were also jewelers, Georges and Emile. Georges had his own G Star A mark. The brothers, "freres", had the joint mark A Star F, found on this set. The brothers "Auger Freres-Paris" are listed in the Directory of the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition, in the category Silversmiths' and Goldsmiths' Ware, specifically "gold and silverware".
THIS lot consists of ten 3 tine salad forks 7 1/4" long. Total weight is 599.5 grams.
