The Gorham Sterling Strasbourg 8 Place Setting flatware is a luxurious and elegant collection composed of sterling silver. With a classic Strasbourg pattern and post-1940 production, this set includes 53 pieces to accommodate 8 place settings. Extras are included for added convenience and versatility in hosting dinners or events. Celebrate special occasions or enhance your dining experience with this exquisite silverware set from a renowned brand like Gorham. Condition is good over-all, used and some have very light scratches and some of the pieces need polishing. I did NOT polish as some collectors prefer their sterling not to be. Included with the set is an extra spoon, (for 9 regular setting spoons), a two-tine pickle fork, a master butter knife (solid sterling) and two 8.5" serving spoons. One of the serving spoons has the pat 1897 markings on the back with additional markings and an x in a circle. This additional serving spoon was originally sold by a New Orleans jeweler and antiques dealer whose shop closed around 1900. This is identified by the stamped M. Scooler on the back of this particular spoon. Incidentally, this serving spoon is lighter in weight than the serving spoon that goes with the 8 place settings set. Any questions, feel free to ask! No international shipping, but local pickup is free. I am personally charging only $15.00 for any shipping in the 50 states. Thank you for considering.
