2 Superb Antique Sterling Silver Royal Navy Table Name Card or Menu Holders from Plymouth dated 1916 Each Antique Dining Table Place Name Card or Menu Holder measure approximately 1 1/2 inches or 38 mm across the diameter or width of its base by just over 1 inch or 27 mm across the widest part of the Royal Navel emblem on the top and it stands 1 1/8 inches or 29 tall to the top of the crown. The place name or menu holders are both completely made from sterling silver with a wonderful pierced and raised relief decorated Royal Navel emblem on the top of a circular base, on the back of each navel emblem there is a circular clip that is designed to hold a menu or place name card and they have Not been engraved with a previous owners initials or family monogram all as photographed below, the place name or menu holders have a combined silver weight of 48.5 grams and the underside of each holder has been impressed with the original retailers mark of Page, Plymouth, each one also has a full set of matching English sterling silver hallmarks that read as follows, G & C H - Anchor - Lion Passant - r G & C H is the Birmingham silversmith or makers mark of George & Charles Hodgetts, the Anchor is the mark of the Birmingham assay office, the Lion Passant is the mark of English solid sterling silver and the letter r is the date letter for 1 916. The condition is used and near Mint for their age. The Menu Holders have No Dents, No Splits, No Cracks, No Holes and No Repairs that I can find, the menu holders both stand upright, the definition and decoration is very crisp, the silver hallmarks are still legible, the rear clips are working perfectly although as the menu holders are used antiques they do have some extremely minor surface wear from use along with the patina of age that is to be expected and a gentle clean would not go amiss. Personally I think that this pair of antique Royal Navel dining table name card or menu holders can still be used today not just on a dining table but also as desk top business card holders and that they would make a superb addition to any cabinet collection, I also think that the overall quality and condition is absolutely fantastic considering that they are almost 100 years old.
