1950's BIRKS PRIMROSE SILVER PLATE DECANTER & 8 GLASSES HONEYCOMB HAMMERED

Description

An estate wedding gift from 1958. Birks Primrose silver plate decanter & 8 martini liquor goblets. Minimally used. Estate owner celebrated 50th wedding anniversary in 2008,  had to put his wife into a nursing home, was living is a very big old home and was sadly selling off all his treasures, their memories together. None of which she does now. Now this needs a very good polishing, of which I have very little of to do such a big task. We have been in a lockdown situation for over 6 weeks now and a month more to go according to government orders. So this is not really an 'essential' product to purchase at this time. I sure do wish a lot of my buyers would grasp this concept of slow delivery and limited quantity and or unavailability of shipping supplies. So selling in tainted condition for new buyer to have all the fun Birks silver is renowned for ease of clean up and does maintain a polished sheen for longer than the majority of silver on the market.
Items are dent free. Decanter has a tight fitting cap to prevent evaporation and a screw on cap at the spout. 12" tall. 8 goblets martini shapes which were a very popular party drink in the 1950-60's. 4.5" tall.

Taxes collection at invoice, EBay force charging any AUSTRALIAN / USA state taxes, and they are doing the remissions. If you have a dispute you have to deal with them. Canada taxes charged by me PST / GST / HST and submitted by this seller.
All items, unless stated, come from estates, mostly other dealers and friends that are retiring from the business. So they are preowned, sometimes many times over, history of items scant at best and I will try to do my best for descriptions to help you decide to bid or not.
