The fundamental pieces of this Sheffield made cutlery service have been crafted by Finnigans Ltd in 1937, apart from the table and dessert knives which are replacements**.

This impressive antique flatware service is supplied in felt cutlery rolls; which not only protect the items in storage but significantly reduce tarnishing.

* "Straight" means all the pieces are made by the same maker in the same year.

** Predominately all antique silver canteens have replacement knives as the originals have not stood the test of time.

This antique silver canteen of cutlery is an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in excellent presentation condition.

Full hallmarks struck to the reverse of each piece are all very clear.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this fine and impressive canteen.
