The chest is included, but you may elect to not take it. It is your choice. Instead, please message me for an updated invoice. The First Love silverplate pattern was first introduced in 1937 by 1847 Rogers Brothers International Silver Company. Included in this set are the following pieces. 12 Dinner Knives 9 ¼ long (all have stainless steel blades). 12 Dinner Forks 7 ¾ long. 12 Viande Knives 8 ½ long. 12 Salad Forks 7 long. 12 Oval Dessert/Soup Spoons 6 ¾ long. 24 Teaspoons 6 ¼ long. 1 Master Butter Knife 6 ¾ long. 1 Sugar Spoon – 6 long. 2 Serving Spoons 8 ½ long. 1 Meat Fork 8 ¾ long. 1 Casserole Spoon 9 long. 1 Gravy Ladle 6 long. All pieces (except knives) have the International Silver symbol (IS) and the pattern name FIRST LOVE on the back of the handle. This set is in very good condition, but some tarnish is present. Each piece is as I found it at an estate sale. I did not attempt to clean or polish it. Most pieces do have some small scratches from use and some tarnish is present. There are no bent or dented or pitted tines/blades/handles/bowls. The silver chest is about 16 ¾ x 11 ¼ x 3 ½ and accommodates this set very well. The chest is structurally sound but shows wear. The hinges are secure and operate smoothly. The chest is still square and true and closes in alignment. The interior of the chest also shows some use/wear. The material lining the lid and bottom of the chest is a lovely wine color. Silverplate is heavy, especially a set with a silver chest included. It takes time but I carefully wrap/package the silverplate and chest so it will arrive safely. I do not use rubber bands to wrap the silverware; there is a chemical used in the processing of rubber that actually burns the silverplate.
