Four different Hand & Hammer Silversmiths Christmas Ornaments An early and scarce collector's set of four Victorian buildings modeled from the famous Currier and Ives lithographs of 19th century American life and consisting of: 1) a colonial church with elegant steeple 2) sturdy covered bridge3) charming Victorian cottage4) and a water powered flour mill Beautifully handcrafted of heavy and thick sterling silver, hung from bright red silk satin ribbons. Truly traditional Americana, made in Virginia, by a two generation family business. The back of each ornament is as interesting as the front. Each is finished, tooled in a simpler fashion, with the same design as the deeply sculpted fronts. Please see the photographs. Never used since purchased by me 21 years ago.
