Antique Sterling George Sharp Gorham Krider Bailey Childs Plate Cup Flatware Set

We are offering an incredible sterling silver set! Purchased rom the famous Philadelphia jewelry store, Bailey & Co. Mr. Joel J. Baily gifted this beautiful child's christening set to J J B Cox in 1877.  Looks like it was a grandson. 
.

Interestingly, Bailey & Co choose wonderful pieces from 3 important Silversmiths at the time- Gorham, George Sharp and, Peter L Krider. Bailey & Co carried the best of the best silver producers at the time.

   Set includes :

*  Engraved  brite cut sterling silver  7.5" plate, Gorham Hallmarks, 170, F.

 Doesn't get much nicer than this!  The engraving is the best I have ever seen. Interesting flat finish on  parts of the plate and mug, and  one side of the knife. The finish makes all the brite cut engraving sparkle like diamonds!  Weighs 475.8 grams together.

Engraved on the front of the plate and mug: "JJB Cox, from Joel J Baily, 1877" Comes with silver anti tarnish bags.
