Shiebler & Mauser Solid Sterling Silver 24 Piece (12 Knives, 12 Forks) Fish Cutlery Set, 1270 Grams – “American Beauty” Pattern, Monogrammed

A gorgeous solid sterling silver 24 piece (12 knives and 12 forks) fish cutlery set in the “American Beauty” pattern. The set was made by Mauser Manufacturing Company, using the only design to survive when the George Shiebler Co. (a noted American silversmith 1846 – 1920) went under and was bought out.  All other Shiebler patterns and work was destroyed.

Each piece is monogrammed with what looks like “JER”. The combined weight of the knives and forks is 1270 grams of silver.

The stamp on the blades of the knives reads “Sterling. Pat’d June 23. Mauser Mfg. Co.”  On the forks, each one is stamped “Pat’d June 97. Sterling. Mauser Mfg. Co.”.

Each knife and fork is 7 inches in length.

NOTE: The American Beauty pattern varies. In some cases, the roses are ascending to the tip of the handle; in others, the roses are descending.

There are some usage wear on the knife blades.  Overall, this set is in very good condition.
