Antique Gorham Villa Norfolk Knife & Fork Carving Set

Pattern is Villa Norfolk, year was 1904

This set IS monogrammed with a JW on one side and is in good usable condition

I\'m not cleaning them just to verify authenticity

These are approx 111 years old ~ Hallmarked with the lion anchor G and Sterling.

The two dates are Patent Dates for the fork\'s stand which are July 13, 1880 and May 29, 1883.

In England, these symbols mean; sterling (lion), anchor (town of Birmingham), and G (date mark). This was an attempt, by Gorham, to have its wares recognized as quality. The anchor stands for the port town of Providence, but the \"G\" stands for Gorham...not a date. The hallmarks stuck, with slight changes over the years, but these symbols have been used by Gorham ever since.

They Measure appox. 11\" on the fork and 12\" on the knife

They weight approx 275 grams

SHIPS FULLY INSURED AND VERY CAREFULLY PACKAGED

NOTICE REGARDING VINTAGE ITEMS

I specialize in vintage items that are usually 50+ years old. It is important that you examine this item carefully before offerding. I welcome all questions.

While I try hard to get my description accurate, you must look at the pictures and remember that vintage is NOT new or mint. Unless otherwise stated, items WILL have age related wear. The older the item the more the wear! My buyers should be knowledgeable collectors looking for vintage! These are usually items that are no longer manufactured or available by retail. I buy at estate sales, yard sales and antique stores and I surface clean most but not all of my items. I try to describe my items the best I can. There is no intentional misleading information in my listings, but there may be a mistake or something missed occasionally due to human error.

My store is a business and I pay for each item I sell. With fees being approx 15% AND now being charged on shipping cost too, I usually start an item at 24.99 or higher, depending on it\'s value. I am a good, honest, sincere seller and my items are clean and working unless otherwise noted. I\'m not looking to get rich but I\'m not looking to give away my items either. I try to ship the same day paid and I work hard to make your buying experience with me a fun & easy one.

I do not smoke, however the previous owner(s) might have. If you buy or collect vintage you must know that the items come from an era when the vast majority of Americans did smoke.

Most of my customers want items in their authentic condition which shows wear and proves age so I leave any deep cleaning to the buyer\'s discretion. My items are sold in \"as is\" condition. I try to highlight any flaws over and above normal wear and tear but again, you must look at the pictures and please feel free to ask questions.

Returns and Refunds: As a matter of my store policy, I do not issue partial refunds. I do however issue full refunds under certain conditions as follows:

1. Full Refunds in cases of damage or loss from shipping after carrier has approved the claim.

2. Full Refunds ONLY if I have grossly misrepresented item and you have returned the item to me at your cost in the same condition that I shipped it. You must notify me of your request to return the item within 3 days of receiving the item and mail the item back to me within 7 days. I will not issue a refund until I receive the item back.

3. The buyer and I have agreed upon a refund. All return item shipping will be paid by the buyer per policy. This leaves both the buyer AND the seller out their shipping costs. You pay to return it and I have to pay out of pocket to ship it. We can avoid this in most cases with good communication and by asking your questions before buying!!!

I have MANY happy repeat buyers and look forward to a pleasant and rewarding business transaction with you. I work hard to make this a positive experience for both buyers and sellers. Thanks for visiting my listing! Best Regards & Happy Shopping!
