BEAUTIFUL SET OF EGG CUPS AND STAND.
SILVER PLATED, (ON SPOONS ONLY) MAPPIN & WEBB A1, C. 1868
I CAN SEE LOOSING THE SPOONS THEN REPLACEING THEM.
THE A1 MEANS IT CONTAINS THE HIGHEST QUALITY OF SILVER PLATE.
DOUBLE EGG CUPS WITH STAND, WASTE CUP.
SILVER PLATED?...
(COULD BE STERLING OR SHEFFIELD).
BASE HAS A HALLMARK, DIFFERENT FROM THE SPOONS,
LOOKS LIKE:
(?), F, M, (STAMP OF A BIRD?), S, SHEILD (BUT CAN'T MAKE IT OUT).
FOR IT'S SIZE, IT'S VERY HEAVEY.
I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT IT OTHER THAN IT'S BEEN IN THE FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS.
THE CUPS AND THE SPOONS ARE DETACHABLE. ONLY THE WASTE CUP DOESN'T COME OFF.
THE MEASUREMENTS OVERALL ARE 7 INCHES WIDE (FROM THE SPOONS), 5 INCHES DEEP, AND 6 INCHES TALL.
THE SILVER IS IN GOOD SHAPE WITH SOME WEAR TO THE THE INSIDE OF THE WASTE CUP AND THE INSIDE BOTTOM OF THE EGG CUPS. MAY COME OFF WITH A GOOD CLEANING.
AND INTERESTING NOTE IS THAT THE WING BOLTS UNDERNEATH ARE HANDMADE. THE BOLTS MAY BE REPLACEMENTS AS THEY ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE WING NUTS.
IT IS VERY WELL MADE AND RINGS LIKE A BELL.
I HAVE ADDED NUMEROUS PHOTOS.
