It is always worth having a look at each spoon in a boxed set...especially if they don't quite match. Here we have a boxed 'set' of golf club teaspoons and a pair of sugar tongs.
Silver plated and priced at $45. What would you think?
I picked up each one and each was marker as APEX silverplate.
Except the last one! It was hallmarked as Australian Sterling Silver, made by Fairfax and Roberts. Not the 'Stg' for sterling as the third mark.
I asked the dealer his best price for the set...$30. A nice 1920's-30's Australian sterling silver teaspoon. In itself well worth a price of $30.
Some short articles and articles in progress. If you have any further information, and would be happy for me to add it to a post, please let me know.
