The handles are all dinged up and wobbly looking.

considered to be "Tastefull"
In this instance, quite possibly a symptom of having too much money and time.

Sure glad that we saved Mothers "coin silver" spoons.
Way back in the early 1900's someone in the family took loads of silver dollars to the mint in KY and they melted them down. Gave them an ingot or three and they then took them to a man who made a set of silver spoons that have the "$" stamped on the back, showing that they were made out of "coin silver." Who knows what they are worth but bet they are holding their value.

Actually I think they look pretty cool but I like that hand crafted looking stuff. However for the money I would rather have a nice used motorcycle.
Re: the girl... what is it they say? "Sure she is hot but somewhere some guy is sick of putting up with her crap". Not that I'm bitter or anything like that...

I guess if your last name begins with an S you'd be more prone to shelling out some clams for this set.

To me it looks like something made in Jr High metal shop. They would make a great camping set though.
I guess I'm in need of tasteless education - I have no idea how to lay out an 11 piece place setting, much less how and when to use them.

"The Silversmith to the Stars", his customers include Steven Spielberg, Paul Newman, Cher, Candice Bergen, and many others. The spoons have a simple but elegant appearance and are quite weighty. The handles have a hammered texture with a stylized "S" at the top, while the bottoms are smooth on the serving side but hammered on the backs. Marked on the back, "Allan Adler-A Handhammered Sterling". A very impressive.
Gotta love socialists. Power to the people man! |
