    I found this cool flatware set in a box of stuff left to me by my mom. I googled 'Elephant flatware by Drexel' and found a lot of these patterns - but most were marked Thailand and there were slight differences like the top being flat instead of round (https://www.etsy.com/listing/822603...re-exotic-solid?show_sold_out_detail=1&frs=10) - these have no markings at all.
    Do you think these made by Drexel?
    Thanks

    No idea how Drexel comes into it; I know them as a furniture manufacturer. The cloth those are in probably came out of a sideboard. The flatware looks like it came out of Thailand.

    I agree with Ruth. They had nothing to do with making the flatware.

    The Drexel is the holder that the flatware was in. Drexel is a furniture company Drexal Heritage...that 'Cloth' came from the silverware draw in the China Cabinet.

    Show us the backs of some of the elephant utensils. Your silverware has nothing to do with Drexel.
