The fundamental pieces of this Sheffield made cutlery service have been crafted by Finnigans Ltd in 1937, apart from the table and dessert knives which are replacements**.

This impressive antique flatware service 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.

** Predominately all antique silver canteens have replacement knives as the originals have not stood the test of time.
