Title: Sterling 6-piece Salt & Pepper Set
Post by: Snapper on July 20, 2012, 12:50:52 PM

I can't find a set like this anywhere. It's Black, Starr & Frost. Set includes 2 shakers, 2 cellars and 2 small spoons. Bottom says "Black, Starr & Frost New York Sterling 18" I am wondering if anyone knows the value or can steer me in the right direction. Thank you!

Very nice. Any idea on age, Greenacres?

http://www.hancocks-london.com/content/black-starr-frost  They would have to be before 1920. After 1920 Black, Starr & Frost partnered with Gorham. Thus, it would say Black, Starr & Frost-Gorham.

Ditto the question!

Sterling sets haven't dropped much in price with the market.
