Description
As we visit Estates, we often come across something that not only has beauty but a real unique item with a special appeal and even a lot of Nostalgia! However, we were recently contacted by a former Missouri Pacific Railroad Collector who is downsizing his large Railroad Collection of Signs, Dinnerware, Silverware, Lights, Water Coolers & RR Lanterns... more. That is why we are offering this match Set of beautiful vintage NEW YORK CENTRAL (NYC) Railroad Lines Silverware Ice Tea (long) SPOONS made by International Silver Company!For Auction:
This is a Vintage Set for the New York Central Railroad Lines consisting of:
(4) Ice Tea Spoons
,
all with the Art-Deco Era design of the "
CENTURY Silverware PATTERN
."
Each Piece is clearly marked on the backside with the "
New York Central
" Name LOGO (
NYC
)
The manufacturer for all these genuine NYC Dinnerware is the higher quality Company of International Silver Co.!
What a special addition to any Railroad Dinnerware that was used on the New York Central Lines!
The History of this famous Line is amazing - In 1867, Cornelius Vanderbilt acquired control of the Albany to Buffalo-running NYC and those were the good times till their decline in 1954.
The New York Central Railroad was a railroad primarily operating in the Great Lakes and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. The railroad primarily connected greater New York and Boston in the east with Chicago and St. Louis in the Midwest, along with the intermediate cities of Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit, and Syracuse.
The Silver Patina on the FOUR long ICE TEA SPOONS are very nice. (You could polish if you like, but the current Patina is very very clean!) There is some minor, aged Toning that over the years has developed along the handles of a couple of the Tea Spoons but it is light.
Actually, in the
FIRST PHOTO
, the lighting in the room makes the Handles look like they have an Aged Patina that is MORE than it is.
If you look at the
#2 PHOTO
, you can see that there is not that much Toning at all on the FOUR Handles. Sorry about that 1st Photo, it is sometimes hard to capture in the Photos of such reflective Silver ware. It picks up shadows & tones that are hard to see with the camera. So, the 4 Handles are actually, much brighter & cleaner!
And if you would like another photo, just ask, we will be happy to send that to you!
