I inherited a set from my grandmother. As for the ad, I ripped it off from write_light from the Dreamwidth site. :D



"Tom or Dick or Jack"? Meh, they're all pretty much interchangeable anyway.

My grandmother was a tad past being a new bride or young fiancee as her two sons were fighting in the war. I am guessing the set may have been an anniversary present. I don't know if Grandpa got a similar response to that of the gent above. I was born about 20 years later and they were pretty much past that, too, at least from what I could tell.



This my set. Sorry for the crappy pic. My camera isn't very good, but you can tell it needs polishing BADLY! The bronzy looking spoon up in the upper left isn't part of the set. The lid where the knives are has come unglued. A lot of the marketing info is still in it. A card in it says it sold for $69.75.

The table it's on and the buffet and hutch in the background also came from my grandparents.
