Hi, I received these spoons as a gift. They are in their original case which is silk lined and has BW Fase and Co on the inside of the case. There is 6 silver spoons in total and they are dated 1901. I have tried searching on the internet but I've not come across anything. Can anyone tell me anything else about these spoons and what their value is, Thanks

Your spoons are from Sheffield England and I believe the date is actually 1901. I don't see your maker, FSB Ltd, listed here, but I'm looking...

But, ... but, .... but Bigwull, ....... Texas is so BIG .... compared to Great Britain, to wit:
Country of Great Britain Land Area -- 229,848 km2 (88,744.8 sq mi)
The State of Texas, US - Land Area -- 696,200 km2 (268,820 sq mi)
..... that Mart is mighty lucky just to have "barbwire" fence that runs out into the "boonies" where she lives ..... cause that "barbwire" fence is also the "telephone" wire. ;D ;D ;D
