The fundamental components of this vintage service have been crafted by the Sheffield silversmiths Cooper Brothers & Sons Ltd in 1956, apart from the table and dessert knives, which are replacements***.
This impressive antique sterling silver canteen is supplied in felt cutlery rolls; which not only protect the items in storage but significantly reduce tarnishing.
* "Straight" means all the pieces are made by the same maker in the same year.
** Glamis pattern is a private design made by Copper Brothers & Sons Ltd.
*** Predominately all antique silver canteens have replacement knives as the originals have not stood the test of time.
