- Description
- Mostly matching set of nickel silver dining flatware consisting of four forks, two knives [one of which does not match the rest], and three spoons - one is smaller than the other two. The set features decorations of flowers throughout the handles; two bunched together at the end, one in the middle, and one just below the head with thin decorative lines between them. The one knife that doesn’t match the others has a decorative border around the mostly square handle with scrolls and flowers in the middle - it has a maker’s mark stamped on the blade that looks like “CVO STAINLESS.” Every piece of the set has “ROGERS NICKEL SILVER” stamped on the backs - no information found online.
