<p>[QUOTE="ola402, post: 2422100, member: 182"]I'm assuming there is no Makers name on the server? I've come across many sterling handle cake servers in my time and many that I never figured out who made them. So I just figured that they weren't part of any pattern and maybe the maker was irrelevant. Perhaps this cake server was part of a set that included a cake knife? Like for use at a wedding reception? Or Giftware for the new bride? There were many one offs in this kind of item. A stainless steel blade suggests 1950s and later. I can't read the writing on the blade. What does it say? Also, you can sometimes find the maker name in little tiny letters stamped on the neck of the piece where it connects to the blade. Are you looking with a loupe?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
