INTRODUCTION : I bought this gorgeous silver plate flat wear with the intention of having the pieces that needed it re-plated. I never did so, therefore this silver has moved around with me countless times. It is a handsome pattern and sets a lovely table. PARTICULARS : “Romance I” by Holmes and Edwards was first manufactured in silver plate in 1925. Some of these pieces are monogrammed with a “B”, some are not. I will make a note as to the shape each set is in. 19 Teaspoons: 8 monogrammed, 3 damaged, 8 worn. 13 Salad Forks: 9 monogrammed, 2 damaged, 5 worn. 12 Cream Soup Spoons: 11 monogrammed, 0 damaged, 0 worn. 16 Dinner Knives: 11 monogrammed, 3 have blade damage, 0 worn. 12 Dinner Forks: 11 monogrammed, 0 damaged, 12 worn. 12 Bullion Spoons: 0 monogrammed, 0 damaged, 0 worn. 6 Iced Tea Spoons: 0 monogrammed; 0 damaged, 0 worn. 7 Ice Cream Spoons: 0 monogrammed, 0 damaged, 0 worn. 3 Demitasse Spoons: 0 monogrammed, 0 damaged, 0 worn. 6 Butter Knives: 0 monogrammed, 0 damaged, 0 worn. 2 Place Spoons: 2 monogrammed, 0 damaged, 0 worn. 2 Serving Forks: 0 monogrammed, 0 damaged, 0 worn. 3 Serving Spoons: 0 monogrammed, 0 damaged, 0 worn. 1 Vegetable Serving Spoon: 0 monogrammed, 0 damaged, 1 worn. 1 Sugar Shell: 1 monogrammed, 0 damaged, 1 worn. 1 Nut Spoon: 0 monogrammed, 0 damaged, 1 worn. 1 Butter Serving Knife: 1 monogrammed, 0 damaged, 1 worn. I use the term “worn” to mean the piece is losing its plating. The dinner forks and the vegetable serving spoon are the only pieces too worn to use and set a pretty table. The rest of the pieces are in good condition – especially considering they are 90 years old. There is a total of 117 pieces of silver plate flat wear.
