A few years after acquiring the spoons, saw a nice old plush-covered presentation case for twelve at a flea market, the outside worn, sort of like an old teddy bear, the interior a lovely red, its origin the New Orleans retailer A.B. Griswold &amp; Co., it held two spoons that I desired as well - asked the price, it was very reasonable, and she threw in the spoons because they had &#039;ugly&#039; engraving (which I loved). The freebies were a pair of Gorham &#039;Nuremberg&#039; demitasse with large entwined monograms on the backs of the bowls, would think a wedding gift, on the fronts of the figures are tiny &quot;Mar 28 1891&quot; dates, above the monograms are script initials sharing only the surname letter &#039;P&#039;, suspect they were later added for the next generation and passed on...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]507760[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]507761[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]507762[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]507763[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]507764[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]507765[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
