I have quite a few of my ancestors silver teaspoons that came from their silverware. Each one of my siblings got some. I cherish them. Three have a V on them for Violet, my paternal Grandmother. Some have K for my maternal mother's last name. Some have a W for the Ward side of the family. It is all so interesting. I am so glad your Mom was kind enough to give them to you. They all tell a story, I'm sure.<br />If they are genuine silver..... see if you can find a silver polishing glove. It could be a job cleaning them but it would be worth it.<br /><br />Friends,<br />SusannahSusannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08760379367756142891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579462225925224574.post-78557277287829682472009-09-15T12:42:05.370-04:002009-09-15T12:42:05.370-04:00What a great gift to receive.

I have my dads fork and spoon from his WWII kit and I also have my grandmothers silver drinking cup from when she was a child. It has to be over 100years old. Thanks for sharing your wonderful spoons with us. They look great how you have them displayed.<br />Blessings,<br />AMYAt Home With Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13864027638045458688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579462225925224574.post-86274982161328653402009-09-15T11:52:39.730-04:002009-09-15T11:52:39.730-04:00Hi Linda,

Don't know the history behind any of it. I did a little on-line checking and most aren't worth a lot. After reading your post, I may have to rethink my original thoughts of getting rid of them. My grandmother and probably some greats all handled the silver at one time or another and that's enough of a reason for me to keep it. Thanks for opening my eyes!Shakerwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793734053680624536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579462225925224574.post-26976629232460089802009-09-15T11:42:20.974-04:002009-09-15T11:42:20.974-04:00that looks great!!that looks great!!simple~needshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06749598136132967298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579462225925224574.post-68759000227143519732009-09-15T11:17:18.543-04:002009-09-15T11:17:18.543-04:00OH lisa, what a gift!!!!PRICELESS!

Earlier this year, I went to a local antique shop and lucked up on a whole tote of old silverware that came out of an estate. Like you, I can't believe the intricate workmanship that is on each spoon and the smooth patina is like nothing I have ever touched. Some of mine have initials too and one has Abe written on it. I told my hubby that one probably belonged to Abe Lincoln. LOL But, who knows. History is so interesting and we are so fortunate to have a part of it. Enjoy your treasures my friend and they look great displayed in your spoon make-over!!! SherrieSherrienoreply@blogger.com
