EXTREMELY RARE SET OF 6 SILVER MOUNTED MATCHING TABLE OR BUTTER KNIVES. This set is currently only 1 of 2 sets I know of and is the earliest documented set of Scagel knives known to me. The knives are 8-3/4″ overall, with a blade length of 5″. This set was made in 1913 as a wedding present for the marriage of Carmen Sylvia Gillette and Charles Hackley Lee, prominent and wealthy families in Muskegon, Michigan in 1914. The history, photos, documents, and marriage license will be given to the buyer of this set. The stacked handles are composed of ivory and stag, and red and black fiber spacers with pure silver ferrules and end caps. The blades are stamped with the name stamp and “USA.” The set is housed in an original maroon felt roll wrap with jeweler’s instructions regarding the care of the knives. PROVENANCE: Dr. Jim Lucie Collection. CONDITION: The handles are mint. The blades have tarnish and staining but are in excellent overall condition showing no evidence of ever having been sharpened. 4-45594 JL71 (18,000-24,000)
