My sister sent me a little gift today. Half of our mother's silverware. When my mother passed away several years ago, she had very little to leave to her only two children. But then, we didn't expect anything... she didn't raise us, and we hardly knew her. So this gift from my sister comes to me because my sister wanted me to have it... and I will cherish it because it came from her...
The pattern is a Reed Barton pattern, but I don't know it's name... yet.
It is pretty, with roses and an unusualcurl at the base of the handles. Do YOU know this pattern?
Tarnished and uncared for....Not surprising, all things considered...
down here in French Lique...
update! Thanks to Mimi at In the Middle of Nowhere, I have the pattern name:
Discontinued Pattern: CLASSIC ROSE (STERLING, 1954, MONOGRAMS) by REED & BARTON SILVER, Sterling Pattern #: 1954
My parents were married in 1954 and I was born in December of that same year. Now we know... this was my mother's bridal silver.
