ANTIQUE HILDESHEIMER ROSE FLATWARE SET IN ORIGINAL BOX

Was informed of the following: "Thought you might like to know that this was a set from a design by Carl Hildesheimer of Germany. Most of these sets are vintage sets. I don't think they are making them any longer. The area in which they were originally made was Hildesheim, Germany. So I presume the man, Hildesheimer, was from that town and probably the town was named after his family. I have one of the dessert sets."  I will be looking into this information now that I have a name.

Beautiful Set Consists of: 6 Forks & 6 Spoons

                                      Flat Triangular Server

                                      Two Gripping Tongs (for lack of a better name)

                                      One Small Serving Spoon 

Almost all of the pieces are Stamped 100

All pieces have an open Rose Pattern, except one Tong.

Shipping Fee's INSIDE & OUTSIDE USA:  My shipping Fee's are a guestimate that reflect a combination of Packaging, Insurance, and eBay Shipping Fee's.  Please know that prices have gone up at the Post Office AND Insurance is costly + eBay now charges Sellers a 9% of Shipping Fee fee for charging the Buyer for shipping.  For example, if I charge you $15.00 for shipping, eBay charges me 9% of $15.00 = $1.35.  These eBay shipping fee's are built into my price.  If I overcharged you on Shipping, Packaging, and eBay Shipping Fee's, I am happy to refund any overage over $5.00 after fee's.

Shipping OUTSIDE USA:  I ship EXPRESS MAIL which is more expensive, but is the only way I can properly INSURE & Track.   In some cases, Customs may hold your item and make you pay additional fee's before they release the item to you.  Seller is not responsible for these charges and they are not included in any way with the sale.  International Buyers – Please Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges. We won't under-value merchandise or mark the item as a gift on customs forms. Doing that is against U.S. and International laws.
