Sterling Silverware Set - Fracis I = $3.500

Sterling Silverware Set - Fracis I is considered the finest cutlery in preparing, serving, and especially eating food. This sterling silver set has been a personal favorite for over 100 years.

Traditionally, good quality cutlery was made from silver (hence the U.S. name), though steel was always used for more utilitarian knives, and pewter was used for some cheaper items, especially spoons. From the nineteenth century, Electroplated Nickel Silver (EPNS) was used as a cheaper substitute; nowadays, most cutlery, including quality designs, is made from stainless steel. Another alternative is melchior, a nickel and copper alloy, which can also sometimes contain manganese.

Reed & Barton is a prominent silversmith manufacturer based in the city of Taunton, Massachusetts since 1824. It is internationally acclaimed for its fine quality products, notably sterling silver and silverplate. The company has produced many varieties of silver and pewter products since Henry G. Reed[1] and Charles E. Barton took over the failing pewter works of Isaac Babbitt[2] in Taunton.

In 1928, Reed & Barton merged with silversmith Dominick & Haff.Reed & Barton was exclusively chosen to design and produce the official gold, silver, and bronze medals for the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, of which there are authentic samples on display at the Old Colony Historical Society museum in Taunton. The company’s products are considered to be of such a high standard that they are used at the White House in Washington, D.C.
