Listed items will not be marked down during the listing duration. Century was one of the staple standbys of the Holmes and Edwards line. It was made from 1923 until 1941; and had limited availablilty after the war. The design is deceptively simple: it shows a vase in a niche atop a pillar. Century stands up well to wear and usually is in good condition. It also is known as Book of Knowledge silver. During the Depression, Century was sold along with or as a premium for purchasing the well known children's encyclopedia. The butter spreader is a silver piece shaped like a paddle; it is used to spread butter on rolls and veggies. It goes on the plate called the bread & butter plate. Butter is served by the master butter onto the plate, and then is used as needed. The butter spreader never touches the tabletop, it stays on the b&b plate and never spreads butter onto the tablecloth. Butter spreaders are also very handy for cheese spreads. The 8 butter spreaders offered here measure about 5 3/4". These are not pieces of new silver. They show the patina of as much as 100 years of careful use. There are the light scratches that constitute normal patina. There is no monogram. There is no silver loss. The pattern is crisp and clear. These pieces have been carefully used and well cared for. I polish all silver before listing on eBay. Please email with any questions before bidding. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE AUCTION DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY. BY BIDDING YOU AGREE TO ABIDE BY MY TERMS OF SALE including the cost and method of shipping and my return policy. I welcome international bidders, but remember that shipping charges can be high. Ask before you bid. Winning bidder to pay shipping charges unless otherwise specified. I ship by United States Postal Service only. I ship all silverware via USPS Priority Mail in boxes. I NEVER ship silverware in envelopes. I insure ALL shipping, as I sell old and scarce items that cannot be easily replaced. Domestic shipping charge for 1 pound or under is now $8.10 which is Priority Mail. International shipping charges vary widely, and I now must use only International Priority shipping, in order to be able to insure the package, purchase a tracking number and proof of delivery, all of which protect both buyer and seller. I now print shipping labels online to keep shipping costs down as much as possible, so I can ship only to the buyerï¿½s confirmed address. I regret that I can no longer ship gifts directly to the recipient. Payment in US funds only, and I can accept only eBayï¿½s payment system. I must receive payment in full within 7 days after the end of auction or a store purchase . Due to misuse of a former return policy, I will no longer accept returns. I will of course take responsibility for items that arrive damaged or if there is a serious error in the listing.
