Original Listing Description

Bakelite Catalin Green Applejuice & Ivory Inlaid Flatware Set 32 pc 1930'sFor sale is a beautiful Bakelite or Catalin Flatware Set to include Six - 4 Piece Place Settings, a total of 24 matching pieces to include 6 dinner knives, 6 table or serving spoons, 6 teaspoons, 6 forks, along with a coordinating 8 Pc hors d'oeuvres set with an inlaid handle in the same color combination, for a total of 32 pieces. The set doesn't look like it was ever used. I inspected each piece and didn't see any damage, but there is one odd spot on the end of one of the knives (probably manuf defect), see last photo. The dinner knives are marked Old Forge Stainless Steel, Englishtown Cutlery, and the flatware is marked Stainless Steel; the knives in the hors d'oeuvres set are marked Stainless Germany along with an illegible maker name. The flatware also comes with its original vintage blue silverware box. Flatware is a beautiful Art Deco design with the ivory inlaid into the striking green applejuice (transparent) bakelite handle. The set is very clean and shiny, stainless looks great, ready to use or display, a really nice set. NOTE, Hand wash only as bakelite cannot go in the dishwasher. Please enlarge photos for detail, and let me know if you have any questions.With all inlaid and 2-tone flatware, expect some variation in the colors as bakelite and catalin develop patina over time; you'll see some variation in the patina on the ivory section in this set, as shown in photos. Set made in the 1930's.Note: Your purchase will be well packed for shipping via UPS. If the quote for postage is more than the actual cost, I will refund the difference back to the buyer. **If the buyer doesn't want the flatware box, it will cost less to ship.** (Condition: Pre-Owned)
