"Ambassador" Pattern Silver plated Flatware In It's Original Case.  The set is for twelve but there are only eight round soup spoons (it was ordered that way)!Condition:  The set is in Very lightly used to unused condition.  There are some light scratches (mostly on the bottom) but I'm quite sure that most of these are from being stacked one on another while stored in the chest over the years.  I'm confident that they can be polished out (I'm going to polish a piece or two to see). NOTE:  The buyer will receive a free copy of my "Tips on Polishing Your Silver plate & Sterling". These tips explain how to reduce your polishing time and achieve the best results. It also tells you the best polishes to use and where to get them at the cheapest price.  These tips are the result of 35-years of experience polishing silver plate & Sterling.  The "Tips Sheet" is only available with the purchase of a set!Description:  I've collected silver plate and sterling for nearly forty years and I've had several set of this pattern, but I've never had a set with the old style forks and solid handled knives.  I would estimate that this set is circa 1930+-.  I don't think there's any need for a description because my photos are good and I show close-ups of the front and back of the pattern.  I'm not sure when the "old French stainless knife blades" went into production, (I think in the early 1930's)?  Here is a list of the pieces in the set along with their lengths:  Twelve 9 3/8" Knives (solid handles with stainless old French blades)Twelve 7 3/4" Forks (old style)Eight 7 1/8" Spoons (round bowls)Twelve 6" TeaspoonsTwelve 4 3/8" Demitasse Spoons (hard to find)One 10" Dessert Server (blade not marked stainless)One 8 1/2" Cold Meat ForkOne 6" Sugar spoonOne 7" Gravy LadleOne 6" Pickle ForkIf you've been looking for a nice old set of Ambassador, here it is.  If you're looking for an unused later set of this pattern, I have one with the hard to find viande style knives and forks in my eBay Store.Please visit my EBAY STORE for more great items - just click on the red store symbol on any of my listings.  IMPORTANT NOTE!
