I have put together an incredible collection of fine items that we will begin to offer to ebay all through this month and next. Some incredible pieces as you all know the level we like to have on our site. Please keep an eye out every week for new items I will be listing. This Spring we will honestly blow you away with the fine quality we are offering, at "No" reserves and our consistent $9.99 start to our auction. In no way does this reflect what we have invested in these items . we have a A truly magnificent sterling youth set in the Isis pattern, premiered by Gorham in 1870 and one of the world's finest designs in the Egyptian Revival style. Gorgeous mounts, each piece having a cast horus falcon eating a coiled snake. The set is parcel gilt, the handles and stems in silver, the rest of each piece, including the bird & snake mounts are gold finished, the knife blade is engraved with a lotus pattern. The set comes in its original wood, leather & silk presentation case. The box has had a tough life protecting the silver, but it did a great job as all three pieces are in mint condition. Each of the rectangular handles is finely hand engraved in small fancy script - Wm. McIntosh Newton from Mrs. J.J. Austin. A web search yielded a William McIntosh Newton of Albany, NY, born ca.1871 and his mother an Austin, no doubt the original recipient. read more
