The actual Webster Co set includes 6 pieces. They are made of sterling silver in a flower design and have the Webster mark. Included is a thread winder (which has a dent in the center on one side), a glove darner (which has dings and dents on the ends with one end pushed in), t is also a seam ripper? or some kind of pointed knitting item (which is in good condition), and 3 different sized items (I don't know what they are-maybe for ribbons or lace?). They all need to be polished, but are just a great find! Also included are two sterling silver thimbles which are also quite old. The larger one is marked by Ketcham and McDougall which came into business in the early 1800's and I believe the other is marked by Simons, Bro & Co and is engraved with a "B". In total, the sterling weighs about 46.6g. The stork scissors are marked "Rochester Cutlery Co, Germany" and the other is marked "Simons (something) Co, Inc Germany, Keen Kutter".
