Child?s first spoon and fork, in presentation case. English sterling silver, hallmarked Sheffield 1908 for the spoon, and Sheffield 1905 for the fork. (I don?t know why the differing year dates - both items match apart from this). Maker?s mark: A.C.M. Co., and the name of this company is printed in gold on the silk lining to the case lid ?Alexander Clark Manufacturing Company, Fenchurch St, London. The handles of both the spoon and the fork have a shell decorated finial, and are engraved with the initials ?C.P.C.? (I think - not easy to decipher). Initials are fairly faint, could probably be polished off.
They measure 14 cm and 14.5 cm long (5.1/2 inches and 5.3/4 inches). Condition is very good, with a little usage scuffing, except that the spoon has a slightly dented edge to the bowl. A silversmith could straighten this. Weight approx. 50 grams.
