Finally.. a Sterling piece of flatware.

[OutdoorAdv]

I've dug countless pieces of plated flatware throughout the years and yesterday I dug my first piece of Sterling Flatware. Was pretty excited.


It was about 5 inches deep... so, while digging it, I went ahead and ran the blade of my shovel down the side and also bent it. Was pissed that I finally found one of these and scraped it up while digging it out... despite the damage, it was still a cool find though.


It's an S Kirk and Son Inc piece that I found online.

"Flat Butter Spreader-Front And Back Design in the Repousse (strl,1924, S.Kirk & Son, Inc.) pattern by Kirk Stieff Silver"

Very nice ! I'd be quite happy to find that (straighten it out and use it every day for toast and jam ! )

Congrats on a nice silver find. That is the exact same silver flatware pattern that my mother in law has. She has tons of it that I guess one day will be handed down to my wife and I.

I just noticed the engraved initials on the knife blade and the fact that you are in VA. It would be highly unlikely but my in-laws are from the Martinsville area. Can you tell what the initials are?

Screwynewy,
I am really bad at reading this type of engraving font. I can really only tell that the first letter is an "M". If anyone else knows what the rest are that would be cool.

What a beauty! When you dig sterling, you don't mess around with the plainer patterns, lol. If I'd dug that, I'd be floating on a cloud for a week! And I'd leave the ornate handle dark exactly as it is now, clean up the blade and use it! HH Andi
