This auction is for a large set of 68 pieces in the King Francis pattern by Reed & Barton. Introduced in 1975 it is one of the finest and most exquisite silver plate patterns made. I purchased this set about 10 years ago from an estate with nearly all the pieces still sealed in the factory plastic. I have used this set a handful of times for Holiday dinners and special occasions. Having recen...tly inherited another silver set, I will pass this fine service on to the next lucky owner.
The service is made up of:
12 Dinner Forks - 7.5" long12 Salad Forks - 6.5" long12 Teaspoons - 6" long12 Oval Soup/Place Spoons - 6.75" long12 Dinner Knives - 9.5" long
2 Tablespoon Serving Spoons - 8.5" long1 Pierced Table Serving Spoon - 8.5" long1 Meat Serving Fork - 8.75 " long1 Pierced Pie or Cake Server - 9.25" long1 Gravy Ladle - 6.5 " long1 Sugar Shell Spoon - 6.25" long1 Master Butter Knife - 7" long
All pieces are in excellent gently used condition and could just use a bit of polishing except one dinner knife. As seen in the last photo and also on the far right of photo 5, this knife handle has a split on the side, it is still usable and not very noticeable. I purchased it this way and did not even notice until I used the set the first time. This set does not come with a storage chest.
